How to open report in front (in focus)

[Chew407]

Hello everyone. I have a report that when opened, appears behind three forms. These forms must then be closed to get to the report to review and then print. However, the totals are then lost and "#Error#" shows up on the report. I do not want to simply change the modal property on these forms. I rather have the report open in front of everything else. How can I achieve this? Your help is greatly appreciated.

MODAL = "in front of everything else", so you can't. I abandoned using MODAL years ago just because of such things. I usually do not have multiple forms open at one time. When I open a form, I close the previous one. Sometimes I have a "main" form open, and pop-up form on top of that, but that's about it. Sorry can't give you any magic.

Thanks GingerR. The nature of the database makes it almost necessary to keep multiple forms open, which is the reason why the modal property was set to Yes in the first place. I may end up having to set it to No! Thanks again.
