Breakout Forms/Objects for Multiple Monitor Setups

[Guest]

One thing that would be a big help, that I have either not figured out in
Access 2000/2002/2003 and don't have the resources to check in 2007 because I
don't have a multiple monitor setup system to spare for beta testing is
support for breaking out forms/reports/etc. so that they can be moved to and
maximized on another desktop/monitor.

With my end users, it would be a big help if there was a way to move objects
outside the confines of the access window, so they can have a form one
monitor and another form on another, a form on one monitor and a related
report on another, or any combination such as form/table, table/query, etc.

Right now, this doesn't seem possible. But, this would increase the
productivity of me and my users.

Forms which are Pop-Up may be moved outside of the Access
Window.

Rules may have changed for different versions of Access, you
should check for your version affect of pop-up and modal properties.

That seems to work.

The one thing that is still a problem is that if you have a few windows open
as pop-up and then minimize the main access window, that minimizes all the
access windows (I guess, all the pop-ups).

That's a bit annoying, because having forms as pop-ups gives you extra
screen space, and at some point it would be nice to have forms open as
pop-ups and be able to minimize the main access window (without affecting
anything) so that I can look at my desktop, use access forms to help with
other programs, etc.
