I have popup forms with helpful hints, and I would like to determine
where they will appear on the screen. Please let me how to do this.
Thank you for all of your help.

Property ActiveForm As Form
read only
Member of Access.Screen

Checking this property you can know wich is the Active Form.

So :

If Screen.ActiveFo rm.Name="PopupN ameForm" then Msgbox "YESS"

Thank you for the prompt responce, but I have no idea what you are
saying. Basically I just want to know how to predetermine the location
on a form that a popup form will appear.

Thank you
Coy

Hi Coy, sorry Delete my Replay due to my very bad English.

So for Location you can explore Left/Top property of Form.

Coy,

Open your form in design view then open propoerties and go to the AutoSize and
AutoCenter properties and set them to No. Add an unbound textbox anywhere on
your form. Click the View button at the far left on the toolbar at the top of
the screen. Click on the title bar of your form and drag it to where you want it
to appear each time it opens. Close your form and answer Yes to save the change
to the form. Open your form again in design view and delete the unbound textbox.
The only purpose of the textbox is to get Access if you want to save the changes
where one of the changes is the form's position. Chanhing the position on its
own won't cause Access to ask if you want to save changes.

I am writing an application that requires the a portion of the main menu to be dynamic. The menu has file, panels, view files and help across the top.

However, everytime I put following code on the Popup event handler (of the View Files menuitem) to dynamically...

Hi, I have a 'main' form called frmIssues which has a subform control (named linkIssuesDrug) containing the subform sfrmLink_Issues_Drugs. A control button on the main form opens a pop-up form which allows me to edit the record in the subform. What I want to happen is for subform with the new edits to be updated on the main form when I close the popup. I'm sure this is a very small bit of code in the the 'On close' event for the popup...

I have a need to arrange the relative depth of several non-modal popup forms. Specifically, I need to make sure one particular form is always at the back of the others. That is, if a user happens to click on the "background" form (which would normally bring that form to the front), I want to execute code that would immediately send that form to the "back-most" position. I believe that, in general, in working with layered windows in any...

I am still having trouble trying to use a popup form to allow user to set filters for the main form. The main form is based on a single table. The popup contains 5 listboxes, so the user can filter on 5 fields in this table, and can include as many field values as s/he needs. The popup is reached from a command button on the main form : This button is on the main form, Datasystem:

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
