Multiple Forms In Access

[fatbuddha]

In Access, how can you open up more than one instance of the same form?
If I use the code below, the first line of code will open a "MyForm" form, and the second line will just bring "MyForm" into focus, rather than creating a new form:
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyForm"
DoCmd.OpenForm "MyForm"


Many thanks to anyone that can help me find a way to get several of the same dialog to appear.

This works, but only if the form you are trying to create has it's HasModule property set to True, you don't even have to add a module.

public frm as Form
public frm2 as Form

public Function OpenForms()

set frm = new Form_frmSomeForm
frm.Visible = true

set frm2 = new Form_frmSomeForm
frm2.Visible = true

End Function

Thanks - everything is working now. Still taking me a while to get my head around this VB way of working (I want my C++ polymorphic behaviour back...)
