Minimize Form

[mrkshpntf]

I have two forms.

The first form is like a login form. The users enter data like their name and click on an openform button that opens the next form.

Is there a way to that when the openform button is clicked on the first form, the first form minimizes as the second form opens?

I tried using doCmd.minimize but it minimizes the second form instead of the first form.

Minimize the first form before you open the second form.

randy700,

Yes, once the user clicks the openform button (which opens the second form), the first form minimizes.

The openform button does two things (1) opens second form and (2) minimizes first form.

Thanks for your response,

You meant this, I guess:

[mrkshpntf]

Yes, PHV.

That is what I meant.

Thanks,
mrkshpntf.

I figured it out.

Exit_OpenForm_Click:
DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1"
DoCmd.Minimize
Exit Sub

Thanks for you responses.

Private Sub cmdOpenFormButton()
    DoCmd.Minimize
    DoCmd.OpenForm "Form2"
End Sub

Minimize the first form before opening the second form.

Why are you minimising the form? Why not just close it?
