Poping a form

[Maracay]

Hi Guys.

I want to pop a small form of around 3 by 3 inches with some information,
but I want this form to open at the top left corner of the screen, and be on
top till the user close it, let say if another program is open I want this
form to still be on top.

Thanks

The form can only stay modal and popup within the application. If you want it
to stay on top over other programs as well that cannot be done.

set the properties of the form to modal and popup this forces the user to
close the form first before they can continue with the application.

IF you are calling this from a routine in the code and you are using docmd.
openform then set the parameters to acDialog which will open the form and
will wait for the user to close the form before continuing with the code.
This form will have the focus and nothing else can get the focus while that
form is open. This allows to you open up a form and "wait" for a repsonse on
the closing of the form.
I would not make the form popup or modal, but control "how" the form open
from within the code. If they user can open the from but just clicking on
the form then you may want to use the modal thing mentioned above. But if
the form is open only through code, leave it as a normal form and open the
form how you want based on the parameters set in the .openform function.
