I have an application that uses various popup forms. All of these
forms are maximized when open. When they open you can see the windows
start button and quicklaunch toolbar, but after a minute or so, the
popup form takes over the whole screen and the user can't get to the
quicklaunch toolbar without closing down. Any ideas what is causing
this?
Putting windows in the right place or Z-Order is not one of Access'
fortés is it?
Make it as big without maximizing
