Doug, I forgot to mention, yes, place both programs into the same VB project.
Be sure to tell VB which one is being loaded first, such as the realtime loop
program, or the modDB form.

If it is the realtime loop program, then before the real time loop starts, be
sure to issue the Show command in reverse sequence so that the last screen
"shown" is the first one on top such as:

frmCTCprog.Show
frmmodDB.Show

This will cause the form associated with the modDB to be displayed last, and
therefore, on top of the CTC program screen.

If your modDB is the first screen loaded, then be sure to place these two SHOW
commands into the top of the coding section of your modDB before any other
coding starts.

But you arrange them the way you want.

have a modDB.Bas that I am already using for coding that controls the switches
and reverse or Normal, signals and their colors, database coding, and an on
screen fast clock.
