    Most of us never let users directly in tables or queries. You lose control over what the user can do, have no events, etc. Pop up a form instead.

    I have blocked users from editing the tables. This just one table that i need users to view as a popup window. Is there is a possibility to make a table a popup?

    I would still use a form, but you could try

    DoCmd.OpenTable

    ...but I'd use a form.

    Agree with Paul.
    Users should never have direct access to tables or queries
    If you want it to look like a table, use a form in datasheet view. You can easily lock it to prevent editing
