POP UP FORMS focus - URGENT HELP NEEDED ??

[ljubo lecic via AccessMonster.com]

I tried to make my aplication look like this:
Startup form is maximized by the Docmd.Maximize. All other forms are
called from the custom menubar.In order to avoid those forms
to be maximized ( because of the maximized startup form ) They are defined as
POP UP forms. Everything looks and works really nice but there is a problem:
When I call any of my POP UP forms I can't
apply tools from the Forms toolbar (e.g. A|Z, Z|A sort) because focus
remains on the startup form. Is there a way to resolve this?
I want to be able to apply Forms toolbar commands on the POP UP form.
If This can be resolved I think that I have a definite solution
for my aplication's "look and feel".
Thanks in advance!

You are better off using the normal Forms rather than Pop-up Forms. For the
Startup Form, you can use the "Maximize Restored Form" technique with code
from The Access Web article:

http://www.mvps.org/access/api/api0022.htm

With this technique, the Startup Form will still be in "Restored" state but
it will fill up the Access Application window.
