Appearance of form

[bhatti]

Hello!

I want my form to appear as pop up and not tabed. I searched on the web and find the suggestion that the pop up property in design view should be set to true. But I don't see property with this name in form design view.I am using Access 2007 for this specific database.Is there any other solution to make my form as pop up?

Best Regards
Bhatti

set
POPUP=yes
modal = YES
and
you must open the form as dialog
docmd.OpenForm "frmMsg",,,,,acDialog

... But I don't see property with this name in form design view...

While in design view of your form, look to the Property Sheet. Make sure the form is selected while the Property Sheet is visible. The form is selected when you first open the form in design view. If you click on a control, like a textbox control, the form will no longer be selected. You can select the form by clicking the small square in the upper left corner of the form or by using the pulldown (Selection Type) within the Property Sheet.

The Pop Up property is located under the "Other" tab within the property sheet. There is not a need to set the Modal property to Yes if all you desire is to have the form pop out of the main Access application window.
