Can I make a sub form pop up/modal

[shaw]

sometimes it's nice to have a popup form as a subform when doing some record
operations, I tried to change the property of the subform "popup" to yes,
but it is still nested in the main form. Just wondering, is there anyway to
do that afterall?

Not AFAIK.

However, there is nothing to stop you using a Form
(equivalent to your Main Form) and another Form (pop-up)
which is equivalent to your Subform.

The more complex part is how to keep the 2
Forms "synchronised" using VBA code to replace the
LinkMasterFields / LinkChildFields Properties of the
SubformControl.

Hi guys,

take a look at the following Microsoft article:
