I have a form that has subformA. On subformA I have 2
cmdbutton that makes visible/invisible 2 subforms on
subformA. I use visible/invisible due to space
limitations. Is there a way to make a these 2 sub-
subforms be free standing windows (pop ups)instead of
embedded on subformA? Even by making one visible at a
time, there still isn't enough room as if they were
popups.
Thanks,
Don

You can open a popup form, but you lose the Master/Child Link
properties, removing a great deal of the benefits of subforms. Have
you considered putting a Tab Control on the form? This lets you save
screen real estate by putting one subform on one page, and another on
a second page; you only see one at a time, but can very easily switch
between them.
