Common Practice with Modal Form

C

Charles Tam

My Access 97 application contains a main from with tabbed UI display.

One of the display contains a button to bring a Modal Form (Dialog) for user
inputs.

Is it a good practice to configure such form as Modal, so that, the user
must dismiss the form in order to continue with the main application? If
not, what are my alternatives?

Charles,

I would say definitely Yes. If the purpose of the dialog form is to
allow user input at a particular point in the process, then there seems
no reason to allow for this form to be left hanging around after it's
served its purpose. I would definitely want the user to close it before
proceeding, and setting its Modal property to Yes is the best way to
achieve that.
