Dispalying a report

[JE77]

Hi all,
As part of my system i need to be able to open a report from a button in a dialog box. At the moment i can open the report but my problem it that the report opens behind the dialog box. Is there any way i can force the report to open in front of the dialog box.
Thanks

If the dialog box is modal, then the dialog box will always be on top - i.e. will will not be able to bring the report to the front even by clicking on it. If this is the case, the only cure is to make the dialog box non modal (right click on the source form, select Window Style and un-check Modal check box).

If this is only a problem caused by the report not getting focus, you could use code like this:

var
rpt report
endVar

if rpt.open("SOME_REPORT.RSL&quot then
rpt.bringToTop() ;give focus to the report
rpt.wait() ;wait until user closes report
endif
