Form on form (2 Viewers)

[Bobp3114]

I have been asked to change present forms so that there is a"Background" form with no connection to any table and that only contains a few Command buttons. Then showing always, three smaller forms, each derived from it's own query and always placed on the background form in the same position. Each of these three forms to act independently of each other.
I can open each in sequence and make the three popup but this seems sloppy
Any ideas appreciated
Bob

have a look at Daniel Pinault's excellent paper on Subclassing Forms (w_w_w.devhut.net/microsoft-access-form-subclassing-101/) as an idea. He also provided a youtube video on that topic

Seems sloppy how? Like, since we can't see--and you haven't described--the specific sloppiness in question, how do we suggest useful de-slopification ideas?
Describe what "sloppy" means to you in greater detail.

and always placed on the background form in the same position

Does that mean overlap? or maybe one next to the other?

What is sloppy? the popup version? the side by side version? the overlapping version?

What is it supposed to solve?

Why 3 forms? Why exactly 3 and not more?

sounds like the background form just needs the buttons and 3 subforms
