    Stop Minimize


    Dear Experts,

    I am using a database with a pictuer background form maximized.

    I use a "Menu" form to open other forms for data entry.

    While entering datas, if I mistakenly click outside, eleswhere in the background, the current form in use is getting minimized. This is becoming troublesome. I am unig others form with PopUp - Yes and Modal No.

    Any suggestion please

    Is this picture background form just for cosmetic purpose? Why bother with it?

    I am not able to replicate issue. If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

    Hi,
    The background form is to avoid reaching design views. Click image for larger version. 

Name:	main form.jpg 
Views:	9 
Size:	50.5 KB 
ID:	44843

    I am attaching a screenshot. The active form gets minimized, when I click outside the form. I dont want minimize of the active form, unless I close the form.

    How does a maximized form "avoid reaching design views"?

    Comments in my previous post still apply.

    Is the form minimized or is it just getting hidden behind the other form? Try opening it as a dialog/modal form.
