Stephen Lebans Month Calendar problem

[Rene Meijers]

I use your modCalendar application. The problem I have is that when I open
the monthcalender from a modal popup, the monthcalender can lose the focus
when I click beside the monthcalendar. I have to move the main popup to see
the monthcalendar that is hidden behind it. Is there a way to make the
monthcalendar modal when it is opened from a modal popup form. When the
montcalendar is opened from a none modal form the monthcalendar is modal and
can't lose the focus.

I hope you can help me with this because I like your tool very much.

You cannot use a popup modal form without maintaining focus. To do that
requires another popup modal form. If you use my calendar form, you can
change the modal property to yes because it is an Access form, and it will
work as you require.

Please do the following with the demoforms from the Calender application and
you will see what I mean:

1. Make the form 'frmDemoSelectDate' popup, modal, dialog
2. Make the form frmMonthCalendar popup, modal, dialog

When I open the 'frmDemoSelectData' (it is openend as a modal popup) and I
click on one of the buttons to open the calendar, it calendar opens as is
should. But when then clicking beside the calendar popup it lost the focus
and it is hidden behind the 'frmDemoSelectDate'.

Hope you can replicate what happens when I do this then maybe you can point
me in the right direction (or help me) to solve this.

Each form has focus when they are clicked on. If you have 2 modal forms,
that is the behavior. If you have 2 non-modal forms that is also the
behavior. Only when you have 1 of each can you force modality.
