select form on the background

TTD
Hi,

I have a form (formA) which is maximized. On that form I have a button which
opens formB in restore-mode. But when I leave formB, I don't get formA
maximized on the foreground, but it's the switchbox which is showed in
maximum.

Is there a command where I can select a form which is stil open on the
background?

Thanks in advance.

Add this to the on close event of form B

Private Sub Form_Close()
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

Thanks for reaction Reggie,

but I already did this. Problem is that when the form (formB) closes, I woul
expect formA te be in front again, but it's the switchbox that appears
maximized. So I'm looking for a command to select the windows from formA to
get back to the forground again.

When you open formB I aasume you aren't closing formA so that formA is still
loaded. If so try this

Private Sub Form_Close()
Forms!formA.For m.SetFocus
DoCmd.Maximize
End Sub

If formA is closed and you want to re-open it when formB closes

Private Sub Form_Close()
DoCmd.OpenForm "formA", acNormal
Forms!formA.For m.SetFocus
DoCmd.Maximize

End Sub
Hope this helps!

I have an input form for which I've created a "matrix" for user input. Basically, the user chooses a radio button and then through javascript, a select box is displayed to define a value for that radio option, like so: Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box1) Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box2) Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box3) Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box4) Choice: (Radio1) type: (select box5)

All, I have need of a readonly select element that looks and acts disabled to the user. The problem with the disabled attribute is that the value isn't passed to the handler, so I'm using readonly. Problem with readonly is that is allows focus, which when the user highlights, then hits backspace (as if to change the field), the browser does a history.back. This is confusing to users. The following code works great in NN6, but IE...

Hello, I am using mozilla and javascript to change the style background color for my select with onfocus() and back to white with onblur(). When i process onfocus(); i have to click on the select three times to get the popup menu and everything seems slow. No errors are reported in the console however it seems as if the click event is not being processed after the focus event is processed.
