Making Previous Form hidden underneith new form

[howlettb]

Hi ... I have a database with several forms opening on top of each other. I know that I can make the previous form not visible by just using the code: forms!PreviousFname.visible = false on the opening of the new form. Is there a way to use this coding without giving a specific form name? I have a few forms that are opened from a few different places, and I would like to use the same feature. I'd appreciate any help you could give. Thanks

An alternative would be to have the previous form hide itself after opening th next form.

How do I do that? Can I do it without using the previous forms name??

The code would be in the previous form:

Me.Visible = False

I'm sorry, I'm just not getting this. I put the code when I click the button to open the next form ... and that doesn't work. I have forms opening on top of each other. If I close it using the Me.visible feature ... how do I get it to open back up when I close the form on top of it.

Really? I just tested this and it worked fine:

DoCmd.OpenForm "form2"
Me.Visible = False

You can pass the name of the first form in OpenArgs and use that to make it visible again.
