Setting popup & modal properies dynamically in a report

[Guest]

Hi,

I have an application which needs a number of reports to open either with
both modal and popup properties, or with neither modal nor popup properties
set, depending on the user type. However, when I try to set the modal
property from code in the report's open event I receive a message as follows:
"error 2448 you cannot assign a value to this property."

I am able to set the modal propery via code but I cannot seem to set the
popup property via code. All the manuals and the ACCESS help say that it is
possible to set th Popup property in a report via code.

Am I missing something?

Any ideas.

Many thanks,

Bernard.

The Popup property can be set only in design view. The help topic does say
this, although perhaps not quite as prominently as it should.

In the program that opens these forms, have you tried opening them as
Dialogs?
