    Editing form while another is open

    Good Day All.

    From the mainform "Home" the "Order Details" Form is launched and changed to Design view. Here I cannot edit the "Order Details" form Property Sheet unless the "Home" form is closed.



    Can anyone tell me why this restriction is enforced?

    What do you mean "Order Details" is 'launched'? Is it opened as a standalone form by code behind a button? Post code for analysis.

    Thank for your query.

    Yes. By clicking a button on "Home" the "Order Details" pops up. I then change to Design View and there is where I cannot edit the properties sheet unless I go back and close the "Home" form.

    I cannot replicate the issue. Post code or provide db for analysis.
