Does fSetAccessWindow work with popup reports?

[Dale Fye]

I have an application where I have hidden the Access window using the
fSetAccessWindow() function.

I have half a dozen forms, which all work properly. I now want to open a
report (Popup and modal set to true) in preview mode, which works fine as
long as I have the Access window showing, but when I hide the Access window,
the report is not visible, and since I cannot close it, Access locks up and I
have to use the Task Manager to close the application

Any help here?

Realistically, you're trying to do something Access wasn't designed to do.

I think you may have to live with its default behaviour of being an MDI
application.

Doug,

I always like to stretch the envelope.

I guess my users will just have to do without the preview mode, because they
prefer the clean appearance of the forms without the background. I've never
tried this. I you use set the Access window to minimized, will the popups
still function normally? I'll have to give this a try tomorrow.
