problem with modal not blocking

[icccapital]

I have a form set to modal and popup yes and default view is single form.

I am in Access 2007 and I have code that in one form that calls:
DoCmd.OpenForm "PrintDialogForm", windowmode:=acDialog
or
DoCmd.OpenForm "PrintDialogForm"

Neither of these blocks until the form "printdialogform" is closed, it just
continues running in the calling form. Has anyone seen this before?

Here's what has always worked for me:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmThatIsPopup", acNormal, , , acFormEdit, acDialog

then for the popup form, I only specify PopUp, not modal - don't know if that
matters or not, but it's what I've always done. The code will always stop at
the OpenForm statement and wait until the Popup closes when I do it this way.
I have several forms that I use this with. I don't know if those other
parameters in the OpenForm statement matter or not. I'm using 2000, so I
don't know if there are any differences in newer versions.
