Interesting problem. How about Docmd.Close acForm,"MyForm" after the
DoCmd.OpenReport and then in the close event of the report DoCmd.OpenForm to
open whatever form should be shown?

Rocky,

Thanks for the help.

The catch is that when I put the DoCmd.OpenReport in the open event of the
startup form, the report is indeed opened, but it is not visible as it sit
"behind" the form.

The Report Tab is visible, the user request is to have the actual report
fully visible on the screen (they don't want to push the TAB).

Is there some way to shift things so that the Report is shown and the Form
sits behind it?


Brad

You have an startup form, yes?  So can you put DoCmd.OpenReport in the _open
event of that form?

(Whenthere is also a default form)

All,

We have an Access 2007 application that is used  by a number of people.

The form that is automatically opened for this ap is a type of report menu.

Recently a key player has asked that when the application is opened, he
would like to see one report automatically shown on the screen (without
needing to push any button or select any tab).

Is there a way to have a default form, and yet open a report and give it the
focus.

I know how to discern the user-id, that it not a problem.

The problem is that if I open up the report on the Form Load Event, the
report is opened, but only a tab is shown for the report, and the report
itself is not visible as it is covered by the default form.

I thought that this would be easy to do .  I must be missing something.

Thanks,
Brad
