MS Access Forum / Forms Programming / October 2005Too Many Forms
Is there a way to use the same form over again. I've benn making a new pop-up form for every Main form I have....the problem is whenever the Pop-Up comes up the Main form goes invisible and when the Pop-Up closes the Main form reappears. Can I use the Dim Statement for this so that I can use the same Pop-Up form over and over again? How would it work? Thanks DS Is the design of your pop-up forms identical? If it is, then you should be able to use the same pop-up form with different main forms. Unless you need to have multiple copies of the pop-up open at the same time, you should just be able to use DoCmd.OpenForm to open it... from whichever main form you happen to be on.

When I hit OK I have to say that the main form becomes visable again, everytime though the main form will be different, can I use the dim statement for this? Thanks DS Can you use the OpenArgs to pass the pop-up form the name of the "calling" form? Then you could use that form name to specify which form you want to make visible, open, etc when you close the pop-up. >> Is the design of your pop-up forms identical?

Me.Name would get the name of the form if you were calling from a button on a form. DoCmd.OpenForm "PopUpForm", , , , , , Me.Name Alternatively DoCmd.OpenForm "PopUpForm", , , , , , "MyWondrousForm" In the close event of the Popup Form DoCmd.OpenForm Me.OpenArgs or Forms(Me.OpenArgs).Visible = True >> Can you use the OpenArgs to pass the pop-up form the name of the >> "calling" form?

DS To answer your first question: yes, there is. But you'd need to post more detail for anyone to figure out what you're after. Pop-up form in what two situations? > Is there a way to use the same form over again.
