Pop Up Reports Maximised Issue

[GraemeG]

Hello.

I have Reports which are pop up and are maximised on load. This is what I require.
However when this happens, sometimes the reports open and fill the screen which is what I want. However the windows taskbar at the bottom hides the horizontal scroll bar. Also it only shows the windows task bar sometimes depending on what other programmes are open and sometimes the pop up report will cover the windows task bar.
Any ideas I am pulling my hair out and I have got to present my dBase next week.

Any help much appreciated.



Thanks

Do you actually mean you've set the POP UP property of your report to Yes or True?

change that to No or False as long as you are maximizing the report when you go to print preview there's no reason to make it pop up. The pop up property is primarily used to prevent users from navigating away from a certain form.

No it does need to be a pop up aswell due to my access hide controls i.e. I have code which hides all access features so my programme stands alone, and when a report is opened from this it hides behind unless made pop up.
Thanks though.

I don't understand your post.

Are you making an mde or accde? or does the computer this is running on have a full version of access? Usually when people stay stand alone they are running the database on a machine that only has the run time components of access installed with no ability to change anything about the design of the database which sort of relieves a lot of the need for making a form a pop up. Are you saying you don't want people to have the ability to navigate away from the report without closing it? If so try using the modal setting instead. Perhaps you can include some screenshots of what you're encountering because I'm quite lost in your description.

Its quite complex.
I have the main programme FE which gets installed along with Runtime and the BE on any machine.
It has a main form with naviagtion panel which allows a sub control to open sub forms which then from the subforms reports can be run. However because the report is being opening from the subform in the control source it doesnt like it (by this I mean hides the report behind the main programme window) unless I make the report Pop Up and maximise it on load then it works great. But what is happening is because the form is a pop up and maximised the horizontal scroll bar hides behind the windows task bar at the bottom of the screen.
Thanks

try using the modal property, that may force your report to the foreground without having to maximize it keep visible what you want to remain visible.

If I do this the report does not show at all.

is there any chance you could post an example database.
