I have a form which is triggered by a button on a main form. The pop up
type form is based on the same query as the base form, which stays open
"below" the active pop up type form. The pop up form, however, is totally
locked and won't accept any data.

I used the Access wizard to create the open form command so that I would it
did right, but this is clearly not working. What could be causing this?

I'm not sure what you mean by "totally locked", but if the problem is
that you can't save the record, maybe the base form has the record or
table locked. Does the base form have a "dirty" record; that is, one
that has been modified but not saved? If so, you'll probably need to
save that record before opening the popup form, using code like

If Me.Dirty Then Me.Dirty = False
DoCmd.OpenForm ...
