I hear ya. I think it should work too, but I've done enough playing around
with the windows in Access to know that there's a chance it won't.

It should work. When I open the form, the class grabs a pointer to the
form. So while it Me. Refers to the form class, mfrm. Refers to the form
and I can (and have) grabbed a pointer to the form window that way.
I am attempting to use a similar set of API calls to reposition the window.
Haven't got that code straightened out yet either though. Other fires to
put out, you know.

Ah, asked again in a different thread. Let me know, I'm curious, with how
you are opening those forms.

I haven't tested it yet. Other fires to put out, you know how that is.

What do you mean it doesn't stick. Will it stick long enough for the user
to click the button and cause that form to close?

This will put the form in front of everything. It doesn't 'stick' though.
Access forms are subclassed windows, so to put it truly always on top is a
little trickier.

Subject: [AccessD] BringToFront
Is there a Bring To Front for a FORM? I may have a series of progress
meters, which open modal, and as it happens centered and right on top of
each other. I have devised a way to display an OK button which I display
the very last line as that process finishes IF I want the user to know that
a specific process finished. The problem is that things being the way they
are, the one that is finishing may be physically hidden by another progress
meter on top. I need to cause the progress meter that is displaying the "OK
to continue" to pop in front of anything else that may be currently
displayed.
