Report Preview

[Bob G.]

I am trying to open a report in preview mode from a form
which is a popup. The report opens but is not visible
because it is behind the popup form.

How can I have the report displayed and return to the
form after the user closes the report window?

Try making the forms popup propery false when you open the
report. Then on the reports On Close property make the
form a pop up again.

Thanks, but the popup property can only be changed in
design view and I can't figure out how to change to
design view in VB.

When you open the report, set the form's VISIBLE property to False.
When you close the report, set the form's VISIBLE property to True.
