Is it possible to dock a regular form? (Non toolbar)
As the Title states, is it possible to make a form dock on the right side of the application, either inside the access window or even modal ala what ICQ does so that its always visible and no object goes underneath it?
If so, what kind of code would i have to add to the form to make it do exactly that?

Hi rhems,
To be honest I had not tried it but it looked good and source is known to be good, so I just downloaded the class and installed in a new Class modue and saved it, then I ganked the two subs on the web page and pasted them into my form.
then I created a new button and gave it an event click
Private Sub Command6_Click()
Call MoveToTopRight(Me.Name)
End Sub
Certainly seems to work as claimed by the author.
Had a little trouble opening the class in notepad, but it opened fine in Visual Basic, just copied the entire text and pasted into my new ClassModule in my Access Form. probably would have worked fine if I chose File > Import File in a code window.
Let me know if you have any more hickups, glad to help.

I have tried to use this code as well, however which reference do you need to set? I get a user-defined type not defined for the "Dim fwForm As New clFormWindow" line in the code.
Thanks,
Rich
