One form pausing another

[MagicalDean]

I have a form called SignIn which opens up a further form called Picture, which has a picture of the person signing in (long story). Is there anyway I can stop the code running in the SignIn form while the Picture form is running, and only have it start again once the OK button has been clicked in the Picture form?

 

[PHV]

Open the Picture form with acDialog (ie as modal).

Hope This Helps, PH.

Both the forms are made to look like dialog boxes, and for some reason the 2nd form has nothing in it when its opened like that Is there another way or will I have to find a different want to show the 2nd form?

How are you opening the 2nd form? If you are using code, PHV's suggestion will cause the code to pause until the 2nd form is closed.

DoCmd.OpenForm "2ndFormName",,,,,acDialog

Ah...now it works, I was being stupid I guess if I get the second form to do something like Authorisation = Yes and then the second form to work only If Authorisation = Yes then that should work correctly...?
