question on pop up forms

In order to prevent my forms from going back and forth in size (ie. maximize,
restore) I was thinking of making them pop up forms.

Is there a downside to doing this?
 
My forms are always popups because they're always full screen, covering the
Access window/menus etc. and they have to be popup to do that. You have to be
sure that your app guides users thru the app, going from form to form
logically, alwasy being aware that each ensuing form will be on top. The
major drawback that I've seen, although it doesn't hurt my apps, is that
Print Preview is not possible with a popup form; the form will stay on top
of the report preview. There may well be a way to work around this, but as
I've said, it doesn't bother me. My reports don't require the user to preview
them.
