MS Access Forum / Forms / March 2007A2002: Form_Timer pops up the form
I have a main dashboard form. I need to display some information that must be visible whenever the user opens any form or report. Therefore I have a floating form (no borders) which pops up when necessary. I need to reposotion the pop up form whenever user repositions main Access window. Access doesn't seem that it may handle Reposition event, see my post "Main Access window: reposition" at http://groups.google.co.uk/group/microsoft.public.access/browse_thread/thread/6c 5781194b964910/cbe016a7da9751c1?lnk=st&q=Main+Access+window%3A+reposition&rnum=1 &hl=en#cbe016a7da9751c1. That's why I tried to add a timer to the dashboard form. In Form_Timer I can move the floating window according to main form position. The problem is that dashboard's Form_Timer always pops up dashboard form. Is it a A2002 bug? Is there any known solution either for repositioning or for adding various types of controls to menubar? TIA Vlado P.S. In A97 there were also some Timer issues that corresponded with reports. A report which was opened from a form (with Timer) didn't show correctly. I haven't tested this situation in A2002 yet. > I have a main dashboard form. I need to display some information that > must be visible whenever the user opens any form or report.

I don't see why the firing of the Timer event should pop up the dashboard form. It doesn't do that for me, with a simple test form. What's the code you're executing in the Timer event ?  SignatureDirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) I have deleted the code and can't remember exactly what it did - I was trying to pop up (SetFocus) a floating form and move it according to CommandBar(0).Top. I must have done something wrong. Now I have added a timer to a floating form and it seems to work OK. I have to test the project with some reports and see if it's still OK. TYVM for your respond, Dirk. Vlado >> I have a main dashboard form. I need to display some information that >> must be visible whenever the user opens any form or report.

By the way (and you may already know this), beware of editing code while the form with the Timer event is open. You get weird behavior in the VB editor if a Timer event fires while you're editing code. SignatureDirk Goldgar, MS Access MVP www.datagnostics.com (please reply to the newsgroup) Thx for the tip. I know that Access Timer is a "wizard" and that's why I've put the code to open the floating form only in MDE. I can easily handle this form when I need it for some tests.
