Switchboard order

[Guest]

hi,

ive set up control boxes to link to forms and reports from my switchboard.
the problem is that when i click to open them, they are opening up behind the
switchboard. how can i change this so that the switchboard moves behind the
opened form or report

thanks

It sounds like the Modal property of your switchboard form is set to
Yes. If suitable, you could change it to No. Otherwise, if you really
want the switchboard to be modal, set the Modal property of the other
forms to Yes. However, with report previews this is not so easy. One
way to handle this with report previews is to include lines in your
macro/VBA procedure to set the Visible property of the switchboard form
to No at the same time that you preview the report, and then set it back
again (using the SelectObject method) on the Deactivate event of the report.
