How to have a button appear on form only when other form NOT open

by  assets  Posted    (Edited  )
This will open a form and not display the close button ( or any other button). If a particular form is open in this case "TheOtherForm" then the button on "ThisForm" will be displayed. You can use this to run reports or for admin function ( if the "TheOtherForm" is the menu then user will not see the button.
The code below goes into the "On Open" properties [Event Procedure].on the form you want to show/hide the button.
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)

If IsLoaded("TheOtherForm") Then
' If the TheOtherForm is open
' the form is opened
' show form's Close/Other button.
CmdCloseForm.Visible = True
Else
' This form was opened as an application
' "Thisform" so hide the button
CmdCloseForm.Visible = False
End If

End Sub
