How to keep a dialogbox open?

How to keep a dialogbox open?

(OP)
Hello All,
I've learned a lot from this this forum, such as getting data from AttachMate to Excel, writing subroutines, and much more.
Finally have a chance to post some code and ask for help!
Decided to be more productive at work, i have programmed a panel of buttons to go to various screens of AttachMate.  The problem is that i am having is that every time i click on a button AttachMate would open/go-to the screen but the dialog box will close afterward.

I would like the dialog box to stay open so that i can go from screen to screen by clicking the buttons to view various data for the customer.
 
I read that in another post that the Function will need to be set to true, but i don't have a function, nor do i know how to write one...sorry if  i am not clear. Please point me in the right direction.

Thanks

CODE

            If (System is Nothing) Then

                        STOP
            End If
            Set Sessions = System.Sessions
            If (Sessions is Nothing) Then

            If (g_HostSettleTime > OldSystemTimeout) Then
                        System.TimeoutValue = g_HostSettleTime
            End If

            Set Sess0 = System.ActiveSession
