Default Form Screen drifts when closing print preview

Hi all,
      I'm pretty new to Access 2003 and was wondering how do I stop the form window from drifting after viewing and closing a report constructed from a command button in the form? The report screen starts aligned to the upper left hand corner and after closing the print preview of the report the screen drifts to the lower right hand corner of the database window. Has anyone had this problem or have any ideas on how to correct it? Thanks in advance.
                 -Todd

Try making the report Pop Up. Does that help?

I'm not sure what you mean. The form shifts whenever it is opened. For instance it will shift over when the command button is clicked to open the report. I thought this might pinpoint the problem, but it would be just as well if I could just stop it from shifting after the report is closed. How do I make the report pop up as you say? Thanks.

Use the report properties dialog box, select the Other tab, and change Pop Up to Yes.

De nada. We all have to learn somehow, and I am totally still learning.
