Pop Up Form Won't Stay On Top 1

[wtmckown]

I have a form that has a couple of command buttons that each open separate pop up forms. I wish to allow the user to open both pop up forms at the same time for data comparison between forms. Here's my problem: When the second pop up is loaded the first one goes behind the main form and the user can't see it. What can be done to keep them both in front of the main form at the same time?

Take a look at the DoCmd.Movesize method in Help. can't give you exact Code as you haven't specified your form names.

Maybe have one form open to the left and the other open to the right.

Also look at the Modal Property of the Pop-Ups.

I don't have a problem opening the forms in the right place (already using MoveSize for this). The main form is full screen. Pop ups are small (2"x2&quot and open on different parts of the screen. They do not overlap....It's just that the first one goes behind the main form when I open the second one. If I use Modal then I can't open the second pop up until I close the first one.

Thanks bill but I got to the bottom of this. My main form also mistakenly had it's popup property set to true. Once I turned this off all popups stay on top of it.
