    Find out what version of visual basic runtime files this app requires, get them, reinstall and see what happens.

    Tom: Modal & Non-Modal forms refer to the properties of a form. It is used to restrict the focus to the form the programmer wants you to work on.

    As pechersk pointed out, it could be that the program writer is very sloppy and did not include all the necessary files in his deployment package. Once the offending files are in place it should run.

    Actually I would also suspect that it could be sloppy programming. Using modal forms requires much care in their use!

    I would first try to uninstall it then install again. If that doesn’t work, contact their tech support.
