Folks, I don't think my subject was very descriptive so here is the problem. I know there is a simple solution but have a cold and my head isn't working. I have a project in Access 2007 that has a main menu form. From here we can select a search form to find proposals. The search can be by proposal number, using a combo box, or by using various criteria that go into a search string. The search form is opened as a dialog. When the proposal number is used to open the proposal form it opens behind the menu. Is there a way to force it to the front? I use this method in a couple of other places in this app. and the form called from the search form always opens in front of the menu form. I think this has to do with the way 2007 displays forms, tabbed show tabs, tabbed don't show tabs or overlapping windows. I just don't have the decoder ring. Any help would be much appreciated. Doug
