Opening Form Instance in Design View

[MajP]

I would like to open a second instance of a form in design mode and invisible. I do not think that I can use the Docmd.openform method because each instance shares the same name property. I use a custom collection to manage my form instances, but can not figure out how to put one into design mode. Thanks for any help.

This worked for me, although the form it opened came up behind my first form. I didn't make it hidden because I wanted to see if it opened.

DoCmd.OpenForm "FormNameToOpenInDesignView", acDesign


Good luck!

I think you are right
