movbe between forms.

[bhrosey via AccessMonster.com]

I'm thinking this will be an easy one. I have a form that has a lot going on
and some folks who are not real comfortable with computers. I have created
another small form with instructions on how to enter data into the main form
and a place on the main form for them to click to open the instructions form.
What properties do I need to set on either/both forms to allow the user to
enter data on the main form while leaving the instructions form open and on
top(it opens in the upper right hand corner, so all the data fields are
visible on the main form)? Thanks in advance.

God Bless,

Bill,
I would think not, as each form is an individual window. Clicking on the
main would cause the Help form to goto the back of the stack.
In cases where some extra user help is needed, you could use text or
label controls to display specific form field help.
You could hide the instructions (Visible = False), and show when/as
needed... like OnEnter of SomeField... show the SomeField caption.

You could even disable the Status bar, and create your own Status bar
with labels, at the bottom of the form.

Lots of ways to do it... but as far as I know... not with another form.
