Close Print Preview window issue in Access 2010

[dumdum2]

I have an Access 2003 database that I use with Access 2007. I just started to use the database with Access 2010 and noticed that the 'Close Print Preview' button is grayed out for any of the reports where I put a 'Docmd.maximize' in the On Open event. When I take that command out, the 'Close Print Preview' button works fine. These reports all work fine in Access 2007 with the Docmd.maximize statement in place. When the 'Close Print Preview' button is grayed out, if I right-click on the report, the 'Close Print Preview' button becomes active. Does anyone know why Access 2010 grays out the 'Close Print Preview' button if the report is set to be maximized?

Thank you!

I still see the Close Print Preview button in Access 2010 after a docmd.maximize has been run.

Thanks for your reply.....I was thinking that the focus may not be on the previewed report (for some reason unknown to me) because if I right-click on the report, the 'Close Print Preview' button becomes active. Is there a way to figure out where the focus is when a report is previewed? It's something in Access 2010 causing this since it works fine using Access 2007. A mystery....

Do you have a form open in dialog mode?

Sorry, is there an easy way to tell that? The form that is open is set pop-up to no and modal to no...??

Is the a difference if you don't use "pop-up"?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand...pop up is already set to 'no'....

Sorry I missed that. Is the form opened via code/vba? If so, what's the code?

Here's the code that opens the form that the report is then opened from....

If Frame0 = 4 Then 'scheduling menu
stDocName = "SCHEDULING MENU"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName
Frame0 = 0
End If

thanks!

Sorry, I don't see anything and can't duplicate your results in my Access 2010.
