update from another form 1

[primerov]

Why i cannot update from another form? I have an update function called UpdateData that works otherwise,but not from another form.
Why is it so?
I am trying to update tables from the form F1.There i have the following code :

DoCmd.OpenForm " F2"
UpdateData


I have also applied the OnOpen function, and in my UpdateData function i also have the following condition:

Dim strDocName As String
strDocName = "F2"
If IsOpen(strDocName) = True Then
.....
end if

Obviously it is not enough.
Can somebody help me ?

The reason why i must use two forms is rather complicaed but i think it is not relevant to my question

Try including the UpdateData function in the Modules section and you should be able to call it from anywhere.

Can you post your UpdateData function?
