[AccessD] Popup Form

Rocky,

    Unless the PopUp property of a form is set to Yes, you can not prevent other forms from coming to the top. However, this property can be set only in design view.

    If you are in a position to explain as to what exactly is sought to be accomplished by making the form PopUp on some occasions and non-PopUp on others, a work-around could be explored. 

Best wishes,
A.D.Tejpal

  I'll have to try it with the minimize button disabled - see what happens.

  I *think* you will find that the difference is that popup stays on top of
  everything whereas dialogue can be minimised.
  Haven't check though.

  Steve, et al:

  Dialog is the same as popup?

  Rocky,

  I think something like this should work...

  If YourSwitch Then
      DoCmd.OpenForm "YourForm", , , , , acDialog Else
      DoCmd.OpenForm "YourForm"
  End If

  Regards
  Steve
