Default Pop Up Form Focus Question

I have a form with the pop-up and modal properties set to Yes. The form
contains a list box of names. When the user double-clicks on one of these
names, a report opens up using the name in the list box as criteria. This
all works great.

However, the pop-up form keeps the focus and remains on top of the report
making it hard to read. I would like for the focus to switch to the report
when the name is double-clicked so that the report is in front. Then when
the report is closed, the pop-up form regains the focus so they can either
select another name or close the pop-up.

Is this possible?

Default Pop Up Form Focus Question

I have already posted replies to two other post of yours about this same
issue.

Are you just not able to go back to your other posts or is there some other
problem?

I and others do not mind at all trying to help, but not to just answer the
same question multiple times.
