Form disappears at runtime when pop up property set to Yes?

I created an access form set the pop up property to 'yes'
When I run the form it shows up fine. If I make some edits to the form by adding controls or making other changes, and re-run the form, it runs but is invisible to the user.
I've seen this kind of thing happen before from time to time but now it seems more regular. Does anybody have a fix for this or know why it's happening?

I am under the impression that the form is not invisible but rather set behind the form that you  are calling it...
Instead of setting it to Popup yes you can open it like this
DoCmd.OpenForm NameOFTHEFORM, , , , , acDialog

Open in new window

Acdialog will ensure that it will popup above the current form

No, when it set it to yes it does display.

Also changing the form load command so that it includes acdialog   Also works. So I will incorporate both solution

Thanks to both of you!
