Just leave the form open that opens "User Details". "User Details" will open on top of the calling form and when you close "User Details" your form will be there.

An alternative method, if you do not want your calling form to be visible whilst the (UserDetails) form is in use, is to set the (callingform) to visible = false. You can do this in the (UserDetails) onopen or onactivate event.
Likewise when you leave the (UserDetails) form you make the (callingform) visible = true. You can do this in the (user details) forms onclose event
Hope this helps

To make Accesswatch's method work, you need to pass the name of the calling form to the called form via the openArgs property.
