I have a main application form that runs as a popup form. When I minimize the application form so that I can check out some table values with the navigation pane I cannot restore the application form window. It just stays as a small X icon on the lower left side of the screen. The only way to get it back is to minimize all of Access and then click on the Access icon again on the task bar to maximize it. Then the main form window is restored to its original position and size. Am I missing something. Would be nice if Microsoft would have included the restore and maximize buttons and not just an X close button.

I set my main menu to modal to further lockdown the database on top of hiding the navigation panel and tool bar. i use an admin password button to close the main menu, so I'm able to press f11 to get to 'file' for setting trusted locations in the end-user access exe files.
