I have a main menu that is maximised and thats fine. I then have a members forms that pops up in front of this main menu and thats also fine but now that i need another form (committees)to appear in front of the members form i ca'nt get it to work.

Main Menu form is maximised......Memebers form is smaller and the committee form is smaller again,

Hope this makes sense to someone as its doing me head in........Thanx.........C

Try set the modal properties of the members and comitee forms to true.

cheers,

I recently came up against opening a third form and having it disappear behind the 1st form even though I was closing the 2nd one.
If you don't want them to be modal, here's what I ended up using in the Click event of the 2nd Form:
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

stDocName = "Participant Information"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

DoCmd.Close acForm, "Participant Activity"
Forms![Participant Information].SetFocus
