Duplicating a form X times

[TJJeffries]

I have a form that I want to use as a templet form for other forms in the same application. I tried saving the frmForm as frmForm2 and it did not work. Is there a way to make a copy of the form and import it into the same application?

Some confusion on this end. If it is the same form, why can't you just instantiate it multiple times? If you want it to be 'slightly' different in design, A way is to copy the 'object' in Ein (explorer) and paste (then rename) it. Open your project and add the re-named form. open and modify it as desired.

There is never time to do it right but there is always time to do it over

I've done this Michael so that everthing had the same style.

What you need to do is to
Change the forms name (Form1) in properties to Form2.
Save it as Form2
Add Form1 back into the project Peter Meachem

If the form is to be used in multiple instances with little or no changes then set it up once and declare new uses in the code

Dim fFormA as New FormA
Load fFormA
With fFormA
.Caption = "Whatever"
.Label1.Caption = "Whatever"
.Show
End With

Each instance will be separate in memory

Hope this helps
