Passing focus from a pop up form back to mainform

[smith844]

I have a form for entering data and to aid people inputting data into a text box I would like a pop up form to appear to enable them to refresh their memories as it were with some information. I was going to use the got focus event of the text box to open the popup but how do i then pass the focus back to the main form and text box without triggering the event again

on the flip side I would like to use the lost focus event to close the sub form as well.

any suggestions greatfully received.

Have a Great Weekend, one and all

I use the double click event to open a popup form.

PS..

The code to open the pop up form can be called from any textbox, you just need to change the details in the code.
