Open a form instead of msgbox

[kosmokramer]

Hey. This is a really simple question, but how do you open a new form in response to a button click on the first form?

I am creating an application that will have information listed on the main form, and if the user wants more information about a particular record, they can click a button which will open another form displaying the seperate information

You could either use the statement frmDetail.Show

or you could say frmDetail.Show vbmodal


The 'vbmodal' part means that you cannot click back to the original form until this form is finished...ie the user clicks OK button after they finished viewing the detail.

Hope this helps,
CA

Thanks for the help, but about 5 minutes after I posted this question, I figured out what I needed to do! I just went through all the options in Intelisense that seemed to make any sense (no pun intended!).

Just a suggestion, but you might want to think about using a MultiPage control instead of two seperate forms . . .



Peace!!

DoCmd.OpenForm "Name of the form that you want", acNormal

errrm... This is VB5/6 rather than VBA!

OK johnwm, sorry for intruding . . . . Try a TabStrip control then. ;-)
