Popup Form Over Active Control with Return Value


 S  M  L  XL  FS  |  Slo  Reg  Fast  2x  |  Bookmark Join Now

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I will show you how to open a modal pop-up form directly over the active control on your form and position it accurately, making it easy to update fields like Last Name or Country. We will use VBA to capture which control was clicked, calculate its position, and open a custom modal form in that exact spot. You will also see how to pass a value from the clicked control to the pop-up form for editing. This is part 1.

Sandra from Norfork, Arkansas (a Platinum Member) asks: Could you show how to open a modal popup form above a specific control? I'm trying to use your popup calendar date picker and it would be nice if it opened on top of the date field.
