Can't save form changes 1

I have a form (F1) with only a Tab Control on it and multiple buttons on each tab. The buttons are hyperlinks and just open other windows (popups). However, if a popup opens and it is bigger than F1, it is under F1 and if I close F1 so I can see the popup, the popup also closes. I decided maybe I needed to make F1 so Modal was no. However, when I change this and click save nothing happens. When I then try to close the form, it asks if I want to save changes. If I say yes, it acts like I didn't do anything and repeats the question. The only way to get out is say no or cancel, and then I still have Modal as Yes. Below are the properties of the form. Can someone tell me which one is causing this problem please.

Allow Filters - Yes
Default View - Single Form
Allow Form View - Yes
Allow other views (3) - No
Allow edits, deletions, additions - No
Data Entry - No
RecordsetType - Dynaset
Record Locks - No Locks
Record Selector, Nav Buttons, Div Lines - No
Auto Resize, Center - No
PopUp and Modal - YES
Border Style - Sizable
Control Box - Yes
MinMax Button - None
Close Button - Yes
Cycle - All records
Has Module - Yes
Allow Design Changes - All Views
Moveable - Yes
Fetch Defaults - Yes

I would appreciate any input. Thanks, JL
 
Any code in your form? This may have a loop stuck somewhere.

There is not any code behind the form at all. JL
 
Hyperlinks in the buttons?

This is theory, but access may be setting the focus to F1 after following the Hyperlink. It may be a better idea to code the foms to open using the on_click event..

Will try; see what happens and let you know. Thanks for your help. JL
 
I don't think that is the problem, because it is also doing it on reports (the can't save part).
