A2K3: Can not see dialog boxes. Form hides them

pw
Hi,

I have a form (with an ActiveX control on it - don't know if that is
the problem) and I can not see the dialog/message boxes. There is an
error with my form and I can not see what it is because it's behind
the form. I can not move the form out of the way either.

The form is not modal, it's not a pop-up, and it's not a dialog box
either.

Any ideas what the problem is?

Thanks,

-pw

You can't move the form because it can't take
focus, because the dialog box has the focus.:~)

Clear the desktop, then try selecting the Access
object again. When it repaints, it will probably
put the dialog box in front.

Try Print Screen, to see if Print Screen captures
the dialog.

Try CTRL C to see if that captures the dialog.

Here's the situation. A form, frmSetUp, with a subform control called subExplain with a source object form frmSetUpSubDefineSides. The source object is a bound form, displaying a few records, no edit, adds, filters, etc, are permitted on the subform. An add or edit button on the subform is clicked opening an unbound form, frmSetUpSideAdd, (populated with values from the above subform if this is an edit of an existing record) for data...

I'm setting up a project for a client on a new Windows Terminal Server. The application is currently in A2K, but the sysadmin does not want to install that, he wants to install A2K3, because Office 2K3 is the organization's new standard (they want to be fully converted within the new calendar year). What issues will I have, if any, with A2K3 on WTS? Anything different from A2K? Anything not specific to WTS that I need to know about...

Is there a way to customize the open file common dialog? I am trying to modify the button text so I can create a delete file common dialog. I need the same functionality of the open file common dialog but just need to change the button text from "open" to "delete". Any ideas? Thanks

I have built what I think should be a dialog box. It contains 4 tabbed panes for generating a range of colors. Each tabbed pane consists of a panel with all the widgets on them including the OK and Cancel buttons. These buttons have to be on the panels themselves so that they can create the color range from the current settings on the panel and return the result via a delegate to the main dialog form. The problem I have is that the OK...

I need to include a wizard in my application that will, as one of the steps, ask the user to select a file to open and (later) a file to save it as. The naff way to do this would be to have a button on the form that pops-up the common dialog. The cool way to do this would be to have the common dialog embedded in the wizard. I know it's possible, as I've seen other apps do this kind of thing, but I have no ideas how it can be achieved and...

Hi, This is bizarre. I've check and rechecked the spelling, cut and paste the name of the form (when trying to rename the form) and the control yet I still get a parameter prompt when the form runs. I've even deleted the control and started over. This is the code for the recordsource of the form: "SELECT * FROM qryGuestStorePurchases_pw WHERE

Hi, I have 2 javascript functions, one that sorts a table and one that shows/hides a modal dialog that displays something like "Sorting" with a little icon indicating that the browser is "busy" and you need to wait. This is done because on larger tables the sort routine can take upwards of 10 seconds. I try the following code: <th onclick="showModal(); sort(this); hideModal();">some header</th>

Hello! I know there exist some commonDialogs in .NET such as SaveFileDialog,OpenFileDialog printDialog and so. I just want to know if a dialog is the same as a form ?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
