I am using Access 2007. I have set file to open a Form I have labeled Main Menu. From the Main Menu I have control buttons to open another 5 Forms. I have set tabs to appear across the top. What has started to happen is when I now open a Form from the main menu it is appearing behind the main menu screen and not on top as it had previously. Clicking on the tab does not work either. I have to Close the Main Menu Form to work in the underlying Form. I realise I could put some code to Close the Main Menu Form and the use code to reopen it again on the other Forms. I was wondering why it happened and if there is any way to reverse what has happened.
 
I'd start by checking the popup and modal properties of the main form.
 
Thanks that fixed the problem. I had set Popup to yes and in Events On Load added Me.Insideheight = 9000 to set size of Form. Once I removed that the Forms now work okay.
 
Glad you got it sorted out.
 
I was using the popup and inside height to restrict size of Form on screen. Is there any other way to do this
 
A form should hold the size it was when you last saved it in design view. In 2007, if you want sized forms instead of tabs:

Office Button/Access Options/Current Database/Document Window Options
