Hi All Helpers
I have a pop up modal form with command buttons to run
reports, but the reports are behind the form, which then
has to be closed. How can I have the reports come up in
front of the form and then have a command button on the
report to close it and go back to the form?
Thanks Mon
 
I suspect the pop-up form being modal is the problem. Have
you tried making it non-modal?

Actually, the reason is you are using a pop up form. Any reason why you
don't just make the form model?

A very large proportion of my forms are model. Each model form that calls
another model form will FORCE the user to close the existing form to return
to the previous form. Using popup forms is ONLY required when you need a
form to *display* on top of EVERYTHING else.

So, a good solution is to use model...but not pop up. If you take look at
the follow report screens, they are all model, and the resulting reports
always open up on top:
