Calling Dialog from Sub Main 1

[fheyn]

Hi,
My application normally doesn't use a dialog. In sub Main
I check some configration-data and if that file doesn't
exist or the data is incomplete I want to call a dialog
to enable the user to create the file and/or add the data.
However Settings(that's the dialog).Show exutes AFTER sub
Main ends and closing the dialog doesn't end the process.
What I want is to call the dialog and then continue sub
Main (which is calling other functions and procedures).
What do I wrong?
Any help appreciated

Hi,

open the dialog modally

Settings.Show vbModal

the execution of the sub will then resume when the dialogue is closed.

Looks like a simple case of showing a form modally.
Assuming the settings form is called frmSettings, try this:

Sub main()
Dim f As frmSettings
Set f = New frmSettings

MsgBox "Showing the form"

f.Show vbModal

MsgBox "I do not show up until the form is dismissed"

End Sub

I knew there was something like that but I didn't remember
the vbModal.
