Is there any way by which i can store the name of a form in a variable and then load the form using this variable.

Thanks.

try this:


Dim fMainForm as frmMain

set fMainForm = new frmMain
fMainForm.Load




Where frmMain is the name of your form.
you may declare fMainForm as public so that you can access it any where in the project.

You can use something like that:

'In Module
option Explicit
public strFormName as string

public Sub LoadPrevious()
Select Case strFormName
Case "Form1"
Form1.Show
Case "Form2"
Form2.Show
Case "Form3"
Form3.Show
End Select
End Sub



In your forms in the place you want assign a new value to strFormName. Let's say if you do in Form1:

private Sub Form_Unload(Cancel as Integer)
strFormName = "Form1"
End Sub



then later you can load Form1 from any place of your code by calling LoadPrevious. The scenario might be more complicated, like you can use array to store several values.

Dim x as Form, strName as string
strName = Text1.Text
set x = Forms.Add(strName)
x.Show
