Question Using Snapshot for Reports

[chrisguk]

Hi all,

Understand that when you want to preview a report it isnt always in focus. By that I mean the report pops up and the form you were using goes into the background.

So to prevent this someone has told me to using the snapshot viewer control within access. I have tried to find out things about this but to no avail.

Does anyone have a detailed explaination on how to use this?

I not sure I understand

When you preview a report the report will open in the Foreground. So why would you not want that to happen?

What exactly is it that you wish to achieve?

 

[chrisguk]

If you have a form open already though the report defaults to the background for some reason. All I wanted was the report to be in the foreground. But an advantage would be to have it in a form so I can have controls etc

Is the calling forms Pop Up property set to True (Yes), by any chance?

 

[chrisguk]

Yes Sir it is. I need it for the main window hide macro i have running

There's your problem then.

Whilst you have a form with it's Pop Up property set to True any other DB object that gets opened will always open behind that particular form.
