Report previews behind form
I have a button on a form that opens another form that contains a list of
reports that can be printed. If I select a report and pick PREVIEW, the report appears but it appears behind the original form. I want the report to appear in front of the original form and not at full size. I do not want the original form closed though. After I preview the report and close it, I want the original form to still be there. How do I accomplish this? Thanks Stonewall |

Report previews behind form
The report will appear on top of the form unless:
a) the report is already open, or b) the form's Popup property is Yes, or it was opened in Dialog mode. To solve (a), close the report and open it again, or SetFocus to it. To solve (b), change the properties/mode of the form. In Access 2002 and later, it is possible to open a report in dialog mode to force it to take focus, if you have a special reason for making it modal like that. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.
