[AccessD] Popup Form

A.D.:

My client had the idea and knows a little about Access so I told him to go
ahead and see what he could do.  He ran into a kind of dead end.  I suspect
that there's a different way to get done what he needs.  The app was
developed with all unmaximized forms.  The first form I modified I maximized
and that gave him a lot more real estate.  He also likes the ADH form
resizing code which I put into one of the forms.  So we're trying to make
the look of the app consistent.  Anyway, this item is now on the 'B' list.

Thanks and regards,

Rocky

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
