open form from an acdialog form

[trevorC via AccessMonster.com]

Hi All,
I have a system that i need to open a form in acdialog mode, this works fine.
But from here i need to open another form this needs to open on top of the
previous acdialog form to update an email list, and then return to the first
form. I just can't seem to be able to do this, Is it me or perhaps this
cannot be done this way.
Any help would be great thanks.
regards
Trevor.

You should be able to open the second form in dialog mode, in which case it
ought to open on top of the first. Did you try that?

Hi, thanks for the reply but i found the solution by hiding the form then
restoring it.
your suggestion was tried but failed.
thanks anyway.

Hmm, it works for me. There must have been something else going on. Were
you trying to open the second form before the first form had become visible?

But if you've found a solution, you probably aren't interested in pursuing
it any further.
