    MDI form

    Hi to everyone.


    Is there any chances to realize a MDI form in access?
    If not, what can I use instead of MDI form?

    Thanks

    If you mean you want to view more than one form at the same time, change the display from Tabbed Documents to Overlapping Windows in Access options

    No, I want the parent form fixed in the back and the child form in the foreground

    Easily done using overlapping windows. Not possible with tabbed documents

    Doing that would work fine except that both would be at the front ....
