How to maintain maximized report when filtering by dialog box

[J360]

Hi,

I have a report that has its On Open event set to open a form in the style of a dialog box

[Code]
Private Sub Report_Open(Can cel As Integer)

DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="A_fr mAvpBrTc", _
WindowMode:=acI con

End Sub
[Code]

The dialog box opens underneath the report. Also, the report shrinks when I click in dialog box. The dialog box is used to dynamically filter the report and works fine.

How can I get the report to open with the Dialog ontop of it? Also, how do I keep the report maximized while making selections in the dialog box?

1. Set popup and modal properties of your dialog form to yes. (if this impacts your filter, set popup = yes, set modal =no and eliminate acDialog mode in #3 below)
2. In the report's Open event code, place the following code after the open form command:
DoCmd.Maximize
3. change your open form command to open in dialog mode:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Your Form", acNormal, , , , acDialog
