Dim db as new access.application

set db = CreateObject("Access.Application")

db.OpenCurrentDatabase pathname

db.DoCmd.OpenForm formname, acNormal, , , acFormEdit, acWindowNormal

db.Visible = True

I know you asked for psuedo code but I happened to have the code right in front of me. Remember to close the database that you connected to when finished with the form. Probably with On_Close event

Hope this helps
