    how to make the form active for editing?

    I have a form and when I click a button it opens up another form. The problem is the newly opened form goes below the form and is not active. I have to close the previous form first to get to the newly opened form.
    How do I solve this?

    Hi simba,

    It appears that the original form's "Pop Up" or "Modal" properties are set to "Yes". Have a look in the form design properties to see if this is the case. If so, then set them to "No".

    Cheers,
