POPUP on top of every window (like Word, Excel, Browser...)

Is there a way to code MS access in certain triggering point, it will pop up on top of ALL windows. Almost like an instant messaging.

Your question is not clear. If you mean an Access form, set its popup property to true/yes. If you mean the application itself, that's governed by Windows so it would be odd unless you opened it minimized on purpose.

Micron,
TY so much as usual. The problem is, when I have an access Database open, and users ventures to other activities and work on other applications (which came on top of the access windows.) When an user was alerted it was time to process a referral, the alert popup from Access does generate a light sound, but it does not come up on top of the other applications (as you indicate, governed by Windows). The user missed these alert generated from Access based on the Ontimer or alerts from Access because other windows are on top of the Access one.

Sincerely,
Perry

The perils of multi-tasking.

If you could get Access to prioritize itself on top of other apps then perhaps that will interfere with user interaction with other apps. It's a Catch-22 conundrum.

Perhaps your users need 2 monitors. That's what my employer did - all the 'power' users got 2 monitors.

You can find code to present alerts here https://access-programmers.co.uk/for...d.php?t=297660
but I agree - popping up an application when I'm in the middle of something else would be infuriating.
