StartMenu

[Gmio]

hey, i create a startmenu for my project and it works fine... but the Menu keeps appearing on the top of everything. For example, when i click report from the startmenu button, the report will then show behind the Startmenu Form. I HAVE to turn the startmenu off to be able to see the report

i want the start menu hide behind when i click on the report and YESSSS I CHECKED ALL THE Setting like modal, anything that i can look at ? The startmenu is a pop up when i undo the pop up view, it doesnt do that ;(

why why

cheers guys.

Yep, pop up will do that to you. If you want to see the report you'll either have to close the form or not have the form set as popup.

Not really logical to have a startup menu form defined as a popup, is there?

yea i just figure it out ;( !!! but if i view the report in pop up view ! there is no print function tho? how can i bring it up so the users can view the report and print

By not making your menu form POPUP! You want a menu form to lie underneath all your other forms if you always keep it open. Your menu form comes up, you click on a button to bring up another form or report, you close that form/report and there's your menu form again! None of this will work if the menu form is popup!

what I do is as follows

on the line after the openReport

me.Visible = false

then in the report's close event
Forms!TheFormName.Visible=true

I also set the report to maximise in the open event and restore in the close event

works very nicely

Make the form invisible while the report is open

docmd.openreport "myReport"
me.visible = false

then in the reports on close event

if application.allforms("myForm").isloaded then
forms("myForm").visible = true
end if

(sometimes I also use a reports on deactivate event to close it)

Edit: hit submit in stead of preview, so I didn't see your reply Dennisk.
