    send a pop up window to the back

    I am using Access 2007. I am not a programmer. I want a pop up menu form to stay open, but go behind the print preview screen. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to write code?

    Pop-ups are by design ment to stay on top.
    As for your form, it would depend on how it was opened/called.

      Thanks zmbd.

      All I really want is a smaller form, and not to have it take up the whole screen. Is there a way to control that?

        Simplest method without any programing is to "revert" to the ACC2003 individual windows:
        Open your db
        Start Button
        Options
        Current Database
        Application Options Group
        Document Windows Options
        (-) Over lapping Windows << Select
        ( ) "Tabbed Documents" <<Default for new Databases

        Close and re-open the database.
        Your windows: forms, queries, tables, etc..., will now open in their own windows just like they used to in ACC2003.

        For some, the big tabbed thing is the prefered method; however, I really need upon occations when I'm trying to design the database or I'm comparing two or three query results to have the overlapping windows.

          Thank you ZMBD! I had the "tabbed" selected, but when I switched to overlapping windows it worked perfectly! All the best!
