Issues with Pop Up forms not opening

[Ant_Snell]

If I design a form with the property style set to ‘Pop UP’ the form will not open in form view. I can sometimes resolve this by opening in design view re-saving then it sometimes works again but not always. If I put an updated front end on a client PC then all the pop up forms (that open via macro or VBA) stop working and the only way I have found to resolve it is to open the app in design mode, open each form in design mode, then save. I have no idea way this is happening or how to fix. Has anyone had the same issue and found a fix please.

usual reason is you are using overlapping windows and the form has opened, but behind another form.

to test, minimise the forms you can see - is the popup behind one of them?

Another reason could be you are developing using multiple monitors and the popup has opened on a different monitor. If that monitor is no longer there at runtime it will still be placed in that relative location

one thing to try, set the modal property to true (you can then set it to false in the form open event if you don't want it to be truly modal). You can also use me.move or docmd.movesize to place the popup in a specific location

Also, in Form Design View, go to Properties - Format and check that the Allow Form View is set to Yes.

Thanks, took some time to sort but got there in the end. It was ajax's suggestion of 2 monitors (still using two monitors but for some reason a few of my forms were opening off the screen so used the Move on open. all sorted now thanks
