Pop-up/Modal Reports in Access 2000

A

Achez

I noticed a couple posts about this in the past, but I didn't see
anything that directly applies to my case. I've created a database in
Access 2003 that has a hidden database window, so I have the reports as
having both pop-up and modal properties. A database user has Access
2000 and can't see the reports. These reports are being launched using
macros, so the macro reads:

cmdOpenReport : On Click
Action: OpenReport
View: Print Preview

My only options for viewing the report from the macro command are
Print, Print Preview and Design.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Achez

The user will need to upgrade to at least Access 2002 to be able to open
reports modally.

Thanks, Allen.
I guess my only question would be is the modal property required for
this situation? Should having the report as a pop-up be enough to view
it over a minimized database window and a pop-up form? And if so, is
it possible to designate a report as pop-up in Access 2000?

Popup forms are not visible when the Access window is minimized so I assume
Popup reports would not be either.
