Making a Form always on top

[startup]

Does anyone know how to make a form always appear on top of all other applications and windows which are open? I want to have a small form which will always be visible even when Access is minimized and I am viewing other applications. I don't know if this is possible with Visual Basic or some other method.

Thanks for any info.

I don't know of any method to make this work outside of access, but I do believe this is possible through some VBA coding. However, I do know that you can set the form to modal-yes in the form's properties section. This keeps the form locked in focus while access is open until the form is closed OR another object is opened from within the modal'd form (ie: i hit a report button from within this form, the report will recieve the focus until it is closed, then back to my modal'd form...).

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I'm aware of the modal and pop up properties for the form. Actually the Pop Up property is exactly what I want, but if only I could keep it popped up outside of Access... hmmm...
