At the moment the closest thing to what I'm looking for is setting Form1 utilities=True
But the problem is that it can't be resized.

Yes, no it cant. One of those things about utility windows is that they use the design size.
Search me?

A modal window can be expanded larger than the initial size set in the IDE but not shrunk smaller.
The answer...
Make the Form size in the IDE form designer the
Minimum size required, lets say 100x100
In Form_Open() event resize it to the desired size..
Me.Resize(500, 300)
Window now opens with size 500x300 and can be resized down to 100x100

Very good
I salute you. Thanks, I didn't know, I already thought about changing the size in Form_Open but I see that the user cannot shrink the window and that may be a problem, at whim on the part of the user.
Hey, thank you very much for your interest.
Note: I don't find any problem in my code, seriously, even if you are right.
