I'm pretty versed in access and have created many many forms including pop up forms. BUT on this one little occasion for some very odd reason I can not get my pop up form to 'pop.'
When I click to see it in form view it doesn't show up.. At first I thought access had actually closed the form and couldn't see it in my task bar nor my alt-tab view.
BUT I did notice a small, very tiny box with a # in it in the upper left corner of my screen. It was the pop up form. I'm unable to right click in it anywhere to go to design due to it's crazy small size but instead, am able to click 'design view' in the access application and it will change it back to design for me.
These are some basic form settings I have selected which apply to the pop up:
Continuous Form
Auto Resize- yes
Auto Center- yes
Pop up- yes
Modal- no
I've tried changing any of these to no avail. The only thing that makes the form work is to change it from a pop up to a regular form... but then again, that defeats the purpose right?
Thanks for your help!!!!!
