    Keeping many forms open one the screen at one time

    In MS Access 2010 when you open a form and that form employing some VBA code opens another form, does the first have to close?

    I need to know this because I want the initial form to remain open along with the second form that opens at a slightly later time.



    It seems a better way than to do one by opening a form and that form opens a second form which closes it, the first form.

    Then if someone wants to make a second data entry they must close the second form and start the whole process again.

    That is awkward. I would like to keep the first form open and the second form open and for multiple data entries.

    Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Respectfully,


    Lou Reed

    No.
    You can open a form, mark it hidden and it will remain open as you do other things.
