Question : popup modal form

Hi EE,

a) Want to display a popup modal form that waits for user to type in signon and password.
b) Am superimposing the modal form on top of a "main menu" form.

c) The main form seems to (incorrectly for my taste) be the active form....
        would like the modal form to be active with the focus set to the first field which is the
           sign on id.

d) below is a screen shot

e) code snippet:
    main form's open event:
----------------------------
               If Len(pg_strSignOnId) = 0 Then
                  DoCmd.OpenForm ("FRM_LogIn")
               End If


     modal form's open event:
-----------------------------
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
    Me.txtSignOn.SetFocus  
    Me.SetFocus         <----   this idea does not seem to activate the modal form
End Sub


Your ideas are appreciated, tx, sandra
