is there a way to show a form, but not take you away from another form.

example.... user is working away on form1, then pops up form2 but only in the background and the user can choose wether or not to goto form2.

thanks

Just set the foucus back to the form that you want. Something like this,

Code: 
   Form2.Show
   Form1.SetFocus

Code is in a form1 event.

You could try calling focus back to form1 after popping up form2
