Form open causing me to not be able to access other form

[DanielB33]

This seems like a silly question - I have not sat down to work on this program in a month or so. When I open a specific form, it causes me to not be able to click the forms behind it. It flashes and will only let me use that one form until I close it. Any clues why???

Presumably you are displaying that form by calling its ShowDialog method. That displays the form as a modal dialogue, which means that it exhibits the behaviour you describe. If you don't want a modal dialogue then call Show rather than ShowDialog.

Thanks for the reply. That fixed it.
