I have a form open on my screen. I double-click on a field to temporarily
open another small form with data displayed. However, the small form lays on
top of the fields in the first open form. How can I make the small form open
in another area of the screen?
Thanks,
Dan

You can use a:

DoCmd.MoveSize x, y

in the second form's On Open event to place it where you want. x and y the
horizontal and vertical distance of the form's top left hand corner from
theAccess window top left hand corner, and they are integers in twips
(1/1440 of an inch), so 2880, 2880 is sctually two inches away. I suppose
the best way to find the numbers is by trial and error.

HTH,
Nikos
