Modal Vs. Modeless
■ A modal window requires closing by an OK or Cancel action before the user
can switch to another form or dialog box.
■ A modeless window does not require closing by an OK or cancel action
before the user switches to another form or dialog box. For example, the
Immediate window is a modeless window.
■ When a modeless form is displayed, code that occurs after the SHOW
method is executed as it is encountered. When a modal form is displayed,
code after the SHOW method is not executed until the form is hidden
or unloaded. See: ◄HIDE Method► ◄UNLOAD Statement►
