Clicking outside the form

[George]

Good Day.



I have a form and want to click out side the form without closing the form. The form has modal set to true.

How can I get around this problem?

[davegri]

You can't. That's the purpose of a modal form.
However, if you are trying to get to something outside of Access, your desktop for example, you can do a <Windows>-D and that should work.

Ok. So my question is if I have several forms open, can I click from one form to another without closing any? if how can this be done?

[davegri]

None of them can be modal.

[George]

thanks. That's sad to know. Wish there was a way cause it is useful

Use tabbed forms? Use a tab control to hold your forms (not if they're big though)?
