The application in question opens a "main form" in full-screen mode. I
created a little form in order for the user to enter a couple dates and
select something from a list. They click the "Get Report" button, and off it
goes to generate the report. However, my timy little form opens in
full-screen mode too. I want it to pop-up over the top of the other form, and
use it's native specified size.

How can I set that up please?

Thanks!
 
Set it as pop-up or modal (I can't remember which) but that will fix the
issue.

Click to expand...

Open the second form in dialog.

Code the command button on the first form:

DoCmd.OpenForm "LittleFormName", , , , , acDialog

It will appear on top of the Main form and processing will cease until
you click the little form's command button.
