   I don't think you can change the mode once it's opened. However you can use   
   openAsDialog when you open it.

   Why don't you set the postion when you open it, the open syntax let you add   
   position.   
      
   I'm not sure what exactly you want to do but if you wish the forms to open   
   in the same place as they were closed last time it shouldn't be that   
   difficult. You could add code that write the position information to a table   
   or an ini-file (maybe in PRIV) when the form closes. When the form open next   
   time it will check for the info and reposition itself.   
      
   I can't really see what the benefit would be to let the user have the option   
   to open a form as a dialog or not. I think that decision is mostly depending   
   on the programming situation. If I use a dialog I often have a reason for it   
   and wouldn't like the user to be able to change that.
