is this possible?

[icemonster]

so am just wondering, is it possible when you have a modal form open the form behind/below it will turn to gray?

You could use the Activate and Deactivate events of a form to change the forms properties like the background colour. You could even loop through all the controls and change how they appear.

Actually, you can. Here's a link:

I use it in my applications in my password change form.

Can this be done in A2003?

Yes, it works in A2003 as well.

There are demos in the Sample Databases Forum here.
