[AccessD] Access 2007 force form to forground

Folks,

I don't think my subject was very descriptive so here is the problem. I know
there is a simple solution but have a cold and my head isn't working. I have
a project in Access 2007 that has a main menu form. From here we can select
a search form to find proposals. The search can be by proposal number, using
a combo box, or by  using various criteria that go into a search string. The
search form is opened as a dialog. When the proposal number is used to open
the proposal form it opens behind the menu. Is there a way to force it to
the front? I use this method in a couple of other places in this app. and
the form called from the search form always opens in front of the menu form.

I think this has to do with the way 2007 displays forms, tabbed show tabs,
tabbed don't show tabs or overlapping windows. I just don't have the decoder
ring.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Doug
