I have a subform which displays invoice records, but when I try to delete a record from it the delete confirmation dialog box pops up under the form and freezes the program. Pressing the "ALT" key brings it forward, but my boss can't seem to remember to do that.
I have a temporary fix that minimizes the form when you delete a record so that the delete confirm is visible, and maximizes the form after confirmation is made, but this seems like a cheap trick and I am looking for a better way. The issue only arises when the form is sized larger than a certain size with high screen resolution, has no problem being maximized at 1024 x 768. With higher resolution, there is no problem if the form is resized below about 3/4th of the screen size, make the form a little larger and the issue arrises.
I am guessing that in 2000 MS did not anticipate such large screen resolutions like 1600 x 1200, and it somehow kills the delete confirms' ability to take focus. If anybody has any insight into this I would appreciate it. I have to keep the database in Access 2000 format though to make it compatible with a fireworks choreography program, I bet later versions do not suffer from the same bug.
Thanks!
