Browse File Dialog Loses focus & goes under popup form.

[ApexData]

I am using code from the following links to establish a
Browse File and Browse Folder dialog.

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0001.htm
http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0002.htm

This code works great. However, once the file dialog becomes visible,
if the user clicks on my popup form that exists under the file dialog,
the file dialog disappears under the form. Then, when the form
clears, the file dialog shows. Select a file, and an error message
occurs.

How do I keep the Browse File Dialog on top of my popup dialog form?

Thanks
Greg

Hello Tom

Is this what you are referring to? I added the hwnd line, but am
unsure about how to make the reference and assignment?
varFileName = ahtCommonFileOp enSave( _
OpenFile:=True, _
InitialDir:=var Directory, _
Filter:=strFilt er, _
Flags:=lngFlags , _
DialogTitle:=va rTitleForDialog ,_
hwnd:=Me.Form) '<-- my
code??? or Me.parent ???

I believe I got It! This seems to be working:

.hwndOwner = Screen.ActiveFo rm.hwnd

Thanks Tom
