How do I make a form in Access become a Pop-up Window?

I am looking to make the forms I have in Access pop-up forms. I have a picture of what I want (the picture is from a different file)

enter image description here

and this is what I have

enter image description here

As far as I can tell, there is no difference in the Macros, the settings, and the VBA code between the two files. How do I make my forms pop out like the one pictured?

Thanks!

2016 Microsoft Access (as of 2020)

Normal Navigation

Method 1: File > Options (Access Option Window Pop-up) > Left Column Toolbar: Current database navigation > Document Window Options > Select Overlapping Windows

Alt Key Shortcuts

Fast Method 2: Alt + F > Alt+ T > Press Alt + O

Have you tried DoCmd.OpenForm "YouFormName", , , , , acDialog ?

If you want to permanently define your form as a pop-up just go to the form's

Property Sheet -> "Other" Tab > Set "Pop Up" to "Yes"

You need to change the default window view of the database.

Go to File ¬ Options and select the "Current Database" option on the left side.

In that option list there is a section under Application Options that says "Document Window Options" Select Overlapping Windows instead of Tabbed Documents.
