i used this line of code the show command doesn't take any parameters and it won't recognise anything without the brackets
frmXsendIssue.Show(VbModal, Screen.ActiveForm)
what about
frmXsendIssue.ShowDialog()

in fact, that's VB6
in VB.NET the ".Show vbModal" has been replaced (i think) by ".ShowDialog()"

yes and not. the user can't use the window that "owns" the modal one.
in fact when you .Show vbModal a form, the code from that point isn't executed until the from is hidden (or unloaded? can't remember now). if the vbmodal isn't said, once the form has been loaded and shown, the code after the .Show line is executed.
