Access Forms

[Wuddle]

Is it possible to have a form that does not disappear when anothe rform is selected.
I have a form that data needs to be input to, however some of the information is held on another form (client Number etc etc) TO make life easier I would like to have a button that when pressed will open another form (not everyone will require this form thats whu it's not permanent). Thats not the problem, the problem is that when i try to type in information on the larger form the smaller one disappears. How can i see both forms at the same time?

Window-Tile Vertically or Horizontally. Not sure if there's a VBA command for this, apart from MoveSize.

Yes, MoveSize is correct. Or, you can set the Auto Center of each form to No, place them where you want them, then save. They should stay where they are (so you could save one form to the left and the other to the right - so you could see both).

HTH,

Thanks for that folks. Is there a way that i can create a button that when pressed will make fields (or forms) that are invisible, visible.

 

[Russell Hauf]

Absolutely. Using VBA, if your form name is frm1, you'd hide it like this:

Forms!frm1.Visible = False

and to unhide it,

Forms!frm1.Visible = True


HTH,
