Report preview behind form
I have a regular with a button to preview a report. The report always opens
behind the form. The form is set up as pop-up and modal so the user can't see any toolbars or menus. How can I force the report preview to appear in front of the form? Thanks in advance. -- Steve S

-- Steve S Let's try this again... I have a regular form with a button to preview a report. The report always opens behind the form.

The usual method is to make the pop-up form Not Visible, Me.Visible = False then either close it or make it Visible again in the Report's Close event. Either: DoCmd.Close acForm, "FormName" or Forms!FormName.Visible = True -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail

Report preview behind form
I do the same.
I define the report as popup, but not modal, with a control box and close button,and "both enabled" for min/max. Then in the form, I simply execute a docmd.maximize after the openreport. I don't mess with visible or anything like that. I have lots more to really make this work for me --- write offline and I'll give you some additional stuff... Basically, I've put a modal popup form in between my "real" form and the report ... I open it as a dialog ... it opens the report. I do this so that the user cannot minimize the preview window and gain access to the form that started it all (because the form is locked up --- since it has a modal popup dialog on the screen). bob "Steve S" wrote in message ...
