Window problem

I have a data entry layout. I have a button that opens a new smaller floating window (400 x 400 px). I have a button in this small window to close it. The purpose of the small window is to display info while allowing the user to keep entering data in the main window. My problem is I can't get FM to keep the small window on top of the maximized window while still being able to enter data in the main window. I have searched this site to no avail. I am facing these 2 situations:

1) The small window stays on top of the data entry layout but I cannot select the data entry layout to enter data

2) The small window pops up but when I click on the data entry layout it disappears behind it.

I don't think you'll find a satisfactory way to do this. Why not put the data on the layout somewhere? You can use a tab panel to "hide" the area of the layout the window would cover and present the info you've got in the floater.
