Help screen help needed
Several of my screens have an associated Help screen. These are normal forms
that just contain text. When the Help screen is accessed, I'd like the user to still be able to access the original form and enter data in it. When this form closes, I'd like the Help screen to 'go away' (if it's still there). At the moment, when the Help screen is displayed, I cannot get to the original screen. Is there some combination of the Popup and Modal properties than can do this? |

Help screen help needed
Hi,
if you make the Help screen a pop up form - set its pop up property to yes, it will open on top of any other form. I wouldn't make it a modal form. To close the Help when the other form closes, code its unload or close event like this: If CurrentProject.AllForms("NameOfHelpScreen").IsLoad ed Then DoCmd.Close acForm, "NameOfHelpScreen" End If Jeanette Cunningham -- Melbourne Victoria Australia "mscertified" wrote in message ...
