braindead here...can't find a resolution to what should be a silly issue. I have a pop-up calendar form that I wish to close when the user clicks back on the main form of my app. I've tried deactivate, lost focus, got focus on the main form all to no avail. Any help is much appreciated.

Forms can only get or lose focus if there are no other controls on them that can receive focus. So using these events of either form is futile.
If the calendar form is also Modal, you can't do anything on any other form until you close the popup.
Normally you would close the form after the selection of a date is made. What event on the popup is being used for this?
Linq ;0)>
The calendar form works well and has a button to confirm the date selected on the calendar at which time it writes this date to a textbox. It is set as a non-modal popup. The thinking was if the user opens the calendar and chooses not to change a date, a click back on the main form would close the calendar. So per your comments, this functionality is not possible?
EDIT:
It's working with this code: -
-
Dim frmCal As String
-
-
frmCal = "frmCalendar"
-
-
DoCmd.OpenForm frmCal, windowmode:=acNormal, OpenArgs:=strTitle
-
-
Do
-
DoEvents
-
Loop While Screen.ActiveForm.Name = frmCal
-
DoCmd.Close acForm, frmCal
-
Put the calendar control on your main form and work with it's visible property instead of having to open and close a form. This way you can use the calendars lost-focus event to hide the calendar.
Hi Don, Your idea would work except I have a parameter that is passed to the function to open the calendar, that being the text box that is used to place the date into once the date is selected on the calendar. And, I have multiple calendars on the form.
I appreciate your response,
Tux
I use the Click event for the Detail Section of the calendar to exit without making a selection. Clicking anywhere except on a date closes it.

Hello, Tux.
Really, from some reasons form couldn't be closed while Form_Deactivate event is being handled. But code in Form_Deactivate event handler could initiate form timer, code in Form_Timer event is able to close the form. -
Private Sub Form_Deactivate()
-
Me.TimerInterval = 1
-
End Sub
-
-
Private Sub Form_Timer()
-
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
-
End Sub
-

Hi all,
I've a form containing some textbox fields. I wrote a simple code to
check if the field is blank in lost focus event, an msg box will be shown to
remind user about it. But don't why the lost focus event is triggered when
the form is shown. I suppose the check code is effective after the form is
loaded. Anyone could help? Thanks

Hi. I have created a 'stop watch' program.
The working principle of the program is to declare an integer (say
'intTime'), which is initalized to zero. Once the user clicks the 'Start'
button, the Timer component (the one found at System.Windows.Forms.Timer)
starts ticking (with this code: Timer.Enabled = True). Whenever the timer
ticks, 'intTime' is inclemented by 1 and this updated number is displayed on
the form. The interval of the...

I am also finding some difficulty with making my find client number form auto close when the client form opens.
I have tried adding code at the end of the private sub to open the client form and have also tried putting it in for example 'On Lost focus'.
All seem to fail and return an error message.
Some advice on the correct way to approach this problem would be much appreciated

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