Hi.
I have a problem whereby a form opens, then is immediately minimised to the
task bar but only if I start the sequence from a Tab control form. I'll use
made up the form names to keep this simple.
OK - first ,what works (ignoring the Tab control form). I open form1 and
select a value in a combo, then click a command button. This closes form1 and
opens form2, showing a list of records as per the combo selection. I click on
a command button on this form and it opens Outlook with the 'To' window
populated as per the combo selection. That's it - all of this works perfectly.
Now what goes wrong. When the database is opened, a large Tab form appears
and this is the main 'switchboard' for the mdb. One tab contains a subform on
which is a command button that calls up form1. When I click this command
button, form1 appears in front of the tab control form. I make a selection in
the combo and click the command button. form 1 disappears and the tab form
reappears with form 2 minimised on the task bar.
Why does form 2 not appear in front of the tab form and how can I make it do
so? (The sequence continues OK if I pull up form 2 from the task bar).
Thanks, JohnB
