    <p>Assuming your form variable is called ReportForm:<br /><br /> The normal way is to just call the ReportForm.Show method again. Or set ReportForm.WindowState to wsNormal for minimized windows. Or call <code>ShowWindow(ReportForm.Handle, SW_RESTORE);</code> which will put a minimized window back in it's original shape.<br /><br /> You can also force the ReportForm to the front, but because it's non-modal, it won't respond to anything, making your application behave as if it's hanging. To do this, use:</p> <pre><code> ReportForm.FormStyle := fsStayOnTop; ReportForm.Show; ReportForm.FormStyle := fsNormal; </code></pre> <p>It works, bringing ReportForm back to the foreground. You might want to preserve the old FormStyle value, though. And yeah, it's a bit of a hack. Furthermore, the form <i>will not</i> respond to the mouse or keyboard simply because the modal form is still demanding attention in the background! (It will sooner or later return to the foreground again.)<br /> A modal form will demand <b>all</b> attention from the Windows messages. This trick will just temporary hide the modal form.<br /> Btw, the simplest way to find that form is by using a global variable in your project and assign the report form to that variable. Then you can just call <code>if Assigned(YourForm) then YourForm.Show;</code> when you need to display it again. (Plus the other two lines, if need be.)<br /><br /><br />So, best solution would be the <code>ShowWindow(ReportForm.Handle, SW_RESTORE);</code> which should work, I think... It will pop back behind the modal form, where it's supposed to be.</p>

    1. COI should have been more specific in my question :-) Yes, the problem is that the window is not responding. I can show it, but that's no good.

    2. COAnd you will not be able to show it until the modal form is closed. Modal forms just eat all messages. The only option would be to close the modal form, bring the report to the foreground and then re-open the modal form as a non-modal form.But maybe it helps to make the report form itself modal...

    3. COIt's not entirely true that a modal form eats all messages. I can make a new form from the modal form, and that will work just fine. But I would like to take a form that already exists and is active, and use that instead.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
