Hey guys,
I've got a MAIN form, which I have a series of navigational buttons on.
When I open a secondary form from that form, I'd like to be able to HIDE the
original form. The reason is, if the user wants to minimize the application
so that he / she can then do something else, I don't want them to immediately
see the original form.
On the other hand, when they exit from the 2nd form, I'd like for the
original form (the MAIN screen) to re-appear.
How can I do this?
Any ideas?
Thanks!

You could put something like this in the event handler:
//assuming this is the main form
this.Hide();
newform.ShowDia log(this);
this.Show();
That would hide the form while the 2nd is show. However, passing the main
form as the owner of the dialog should keep it shown above it.
If you dont want the 2nd form to be model, you would need to handle the
OnClosed event to show the main form.

I have a dialog form, frmDetails, that is opened from the main form:
frmDetails.ShowDialog()
The only way I have provided to close this dialog is via the "X" button.
If frmDetails is just closed as normal, there is no visual problem (no repainting) with the main
form.
Now, I add this code to the the FormClosing event in the dialog, frmDetails:

I have a form which the user fills out to enter some data.
If there already exists an uncompleted session - say, the user started

the option of selecting that session from a drop-down menu (think

Hi -
Is it possible to hide the detail section of a report at run time?
I have a report that prints all details, with summary lines. The user
would like the report ALSO with just summary lines.
It seems the simplest thing is to run the code (see below) once with
the detail section showing, and a second time hiding the detail
section. I can't figure out the code to do that and don't see it
posted.

Access closes out the current form record and begins to scroll up or

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,...
