Does Form.hide allow code to continue "beyond" a Form.Show Modal in vb6?

Question

I'm doing a Form.Show Modal to force code execution until the user closes the shown form.

This form gets shown over again, so I'm thinking I'll just HIDE it. This seems to work OK, but wanted to confirm.

So:

1. frmMessage.Show MODAL
2. user clicks OK and frmMessage.Hide
3. code continues

You can either close or hide the modal form to allow the calling code to continue executing. At some point before your application closes you should make sure you unload any hidden forms though. I've had issues in my application with the application not always shutting down correctly when forms are still loaded and hidden. Might just depend on what resources your hidden forms are using.
