[AccessD] Strange Behaviour with Popup Forms in Acc2007

Thanks Drew
Didn't solve the problem though, the form opens on top but as soon as the initiating forms code hits the End Sub it pops back on top.

I only have two instances where this happens so I'll have to open the second form at the bottom of the screen where the users can see and use it and then everything will continue to work.

Back when I used to use Access as an interface, I liked to put my forms
on the desktop (hide the Access window).  In 97, it worked fine to make
the windows 'popup', but in 2000 and later, initially, the code I had
for hiding the Access window also required the window to be modal, to
show up on the desktop.  Found a way around that, which might help
circumvent the bug you have run into:

Private Declare Function ShowWindow Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, _
ByVal nCmdShow As Long) As Long
Const SW_HIDE = 0
Private Const SW_SHOW = 5


'put the above in the forms declarations , then the following in the on
load event (or on open)

ShowWindow Me.hwnd, SW_SHOW
Me.Repaint


Hope that helps.

Drew

John,

None of the forms are modal but all are pop up. I've also found another
area in the database that exhibits the same behaviour and it's also
fired from a double-click event. All the ones that are fired from a
command button work fine.
You may be right in that it is a bug.
