I don't know if this is a good title for this question I have... but what I'm trying to do is bring the focus to a pop-up form when an end user clicks out of Access (say, into Outlook or another software window) then back into Access.
EDIT: What's happening is an end user performs utilizes "Find" to look for a serial number in a popup form. Once he finds the desires serial number, he highlights the entire serial number in the control, copies and pastes it in an email; not exiting out of the "Find" he performed. When he tries to continue the search, the column switches to a column on the non-popup form which is open at the same time.
Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Where he can do things like this and the "Find" function doesn't jump forms when leaving (and then coming back to) Access?
