Can't load form : error 361

[GeorgeJ]

Hello,



This is a real newbie question. I have used Forms extensively in Excel and am trying to use them in Access. I recently created the file “FormTest01.accdb”. The purpose is to familiarize my self with creating forms in Access. The file has no tables, and just one form – Form1, and just one module - Module 1. The form has just one sub in its code file,

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Hello"
End Sub

And there is one sub in Module 1,

Sub Loadform()
Load Form_Form1
End Sub

When I place the cursor inside this sub LoadForm and run it, I do see the message “hello”, but then instead of running the form, I get the message “Error code 361 – cannot load this object”. I looked up error 361 and what I got wasn't helpful.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

You don't want to Load the form, you want to open it.

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1"

That seems to work. Thanks. But now I have created a button "Command1" on the form with the code

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub

When I click the button I get the following message: "Error 361 : Can't load or unload this object"
Any idea why?

You don't unload, you close.

DoCmd.Close acForm, "Form1", acSaveNo

Have you examined any developed databases with VBA coding?
