[AccessD] Access 2010 cannot get at the form I opened.

<quote>
acDialog The form's Modal and PopUp properties are set to Yes.

So the correct answer to my previous question:
Is the the  Popup property of the front form  set to Yes?

Was "Yes"  :-)

So it is almost like Access/VBA is in some kind of suspense.
