Switchboard on top

[glasshouse]

Dear Forum,



I have a small knowledge of Access and have created a simple database. I'm trying to set up a switchboard that opens a couple of forms built on a simple queries. The forms use criteria lookups from the query to select the criteria and shows the data in query datasheets.

The problem is the switchboard/form always remains on top of the queries when they run. The forms, not the switchboard, are set to close once they open the queries.

I have set both "pop-up" and "modal" to no in the properties and tried to set the focus to no avail. Nothing I do, or have researched, stops the switchboard remaining on top.

I'm looking for a very simple solution as I don't know how to use VBA.

Thanks for any help.

Can you supply a copy of your database with fake data in it? if so create a fake copy, put in some garbage data, zip it up and upload it to this site, if the pop-up and modal are both set to no I'd have to look at it to figure it out.

Go to Form Design View then go to Properties - Other; is the Popup Property for the Form set to Yes? If so, change it to No, as it should be for this type of Form.

Yeah he said he'd already checked the pop up property and it was set to no though.
