SYMPTOMS

When you minimize the Microsoft Access program window and a Microsoft Access popup form is displayed, you are unable to place a cursor in an editable field on the popup form, and as a result, cannot edit its contents.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

 Create a form with a text box and a command button on it, set the form's Popup property to Yes, and save the form as MinPop.  Create a macro with the following macro actions. Save the macro as MinPop: Actions SendKeys Keystrokes: &quot;% n&quot; Wait: Yes OpenForm Form: MinPop  Run the macro MinPop.

When you run the macro Minpop the Microsoft Access program window is minimized and the MinPop form is displayed. When you click the text box or tab to it, no insertion point is displayed and you are unable to edit or enter data in the text box.
