    Angry Calculator

    Hi every body on helpline



    In my project i have used system calculator. To invoke calculator I used a command button. It is working fine. But the problem what i am facing is that within calculation if i press outside the calculator with mouse the calculator hide. The taskbar property is set to auto hide to use maximum space of the screen. Every time when the calculator is behind may master window i have to press window logo key to bring the taskbar up and then invoke or bring the calculator on top of the form. Is there any way to keep the calculator on top of all the form till i am to switching it off and again switch it on with the designated command button.

    thanks to all of you in advance

    No. These are two different applications. Even though you have a button in Access to invoke the calculator, this is still two open applications you are hopping back and forth. No different from invoking Excel. The Windows calculator is not part of the MS Office suite and I could not find any way to embed the calculator in Access. Excel offers means to add a button to tool bar/ribbon to invoke the calculator, this is not intrinsically available in Access. Coding could add a button to the Access QAT/ribbon. Again, this invokes the calculator but does not force it to remain on top when you go back to Access or any other app for that matter.
