I think that is not a bug, but an intended behaviour.
PopUps don't get focus and that change results of some functions.
If you use Screen.Activeform inside a Popup form module, it will return the same as [Me].
But, if you use Screen.Activeform from a standalone module, it will return the first non Popup form opened.
If you use Screen.ActiveControl inside a Popup form module, you will get that popup form active control.
But if you use Screen.ActiveControl from a standalone module it will return the control focused in the first non Popup form opened.

Thank you for this feature request. Can you please be more specific with what requests would enhance the overall Access Forms appearance? What specifically would you like to see regarding Fading effects? What other suggestions do you have?

Well, I do not want to take over other's post, but I think that the proposal is to allow forms to fade in an out, with some transparency, instead of just opening and close or hide..
I made that for my maim mdb lot of time ago with some apis and the form timer, but that only work for pop ups forms and I suppose will be easy to implement as a common access form option...
Apart of this, there are some flaws in the forms interface, as the current effects are not completely reliable, specially the mouse over, that sometimes get stuck regardless the mouse has gone away.
It will be very important too, to solve the disappearing of tool tips when a control has also a mouse move event. And the problem with garbage in Tab control tabs titles. Both already posted here...

Thank you for your feedback. The Access team is currently looking into resizing Access applications, starting with forms. We will provide you with a notification when this is available, and will continue to work on additional resizing/zoom support within different areas of the product at a later time.

Please, in any case implement this with an option at database level, not for the full Access application, so we could decide the behaviour of each acddb we open.
Any other solution will be a fatal mesh for already working development.

Popup forms do not get focus and because of that I supposed could not respond to some functions that relay in Screen.ActiveControl.
I Hope some day they change that...

Don't know if you will read that after so long time, but you can disable it in the properties page and then enable it trough code in the form open event. That way the datasheet part headings not appeared but you have shortcut menu

I find the ribbon to be very usefull and flexible, but as you say, sometimes it is a real overkill, using a valuable portion of the windows for nothing.
I also understand the movements made by MS to promote the use of ribbon, hidding custom menus in a special tab. But I think that is not necessary anymore and that maybe it is time to reintroduce support to custom menus outside of the ribbon, allowing the huge existing number of old fashion access aplications to run in newer versions.
I really don't understand why a feature like that could be suppresed.. Whats the gain?
