Pop Up Property

I've got a switchboard that I use to open other forms. The other forms get
opened in a Maximized state, but I want the opened forms to be on top of the
switchboard form, AND for the switchboard form to remain in it's original
non-maximized state.

Setting the Pop Up property of the switchboard form to Yes gets me halfway
there - the switchboard form remains in it's original non-maximixed state,
but it is ON TOP of the other forms.

What's the secret?
 
Kirk,
Reading your help file occasionally is not a bad idea:
From Access Help:
Yes True (–1) The form opens as a pop-up form in Form view. It remains on
top of all other Microsoft Access windows.
Now that I'm done being a smart ass :), I think if you put the following two
lines in the On Open event of your forms, it may help. Disclaimer - This is
an untested brain pharght

Anytime you maximize a form, all open forms maximize. This is a real pain
that Access has never fixed. I would try saving my forms from design mode at
the size I want them, and in each form's Open event, docmd.restore.

Just a thought
