Is there a way to open and work other workbooks while a form is open?

If a user has my forms running and wants to open another workbook... it wouldn't open until the form is closed...

How can I avoid this?

How can you automate Excel?
Press Alt+F11 from Windows Excel to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
Try
Code:
MyForm.Show vbModeless
Certain controls (RefEdit) can only be on a Modal userform.

But the form remains there... that would only let me change the focus of the form, but switch windows right? or at least that's how I've seen it worked...

What is the behavior you're looking for?

For a modal form, you can't set the focus elsewhere until you dismiss (Hide or Unload) the form.
