popup form

[Chrissy]

MVPs please help!

Why does a popup form called up by the current event of a
form not show in foreground?

The very same logic on different set of forms places
called popup on top, but not in this case.

I cannot find any differences, but there must be
something different.

Is there a way to VBA code to set popup "on top"???

TIA,
Chrissy

I'm glad you asked because I have the exact same problem.
Although I would like to add that I don't want to use the
acDialog option when using docmd.openform because I still
need to have access to both of the open forms, I just
want one to open on top of the other.

Hopefully there is any easy answer for this.
Thanks,
Carrie

Hi,
Have you tried a
Forms!yourForm.SetFocus
?

 

[Carrie]

Yes, I tried that. I want the form to open when I click
on a node in an ActiveX treeview, I think that's what is
tripping me up. I'm on the right track now.

Thanks for the help,
Carrie

That didn't work for me either.

I want the popup to remain ontop of the calling form
until closed. Now is resided behind the calling form and
the user needs to go look every time.

Ideas? Thanks.

You can make this form stay on Top by making it Modal in the form
properties.
Hope this helps. Dave
