EXCELLENT. Thanks.... See, I told you it was possible :D Thanks for all the help.

Just thought you might want to know...take a look at VMWare's "WorkStation 4" http://www.vmware.com It is absolutely an amazing program as it allows you to boot up any operating system at any time from within your windows box. i.e. it allows me to boot up win98SE in a window while running XP...

well, thank you...you're description was 100 % clearer to me than the Microsoft article. I read about occupying the memory space, but didn't understand it until you just ecplained it. Thanks...Makes much more sense...Guess I'll try to learn dotnet, because that is what I need to do. Truly...

Strange thing...if I put this code in a form module (the one I want instantiated, it works fine). If I put the code as a public sub in a stand alone module, it closes the form I am trying to instantiate before it opens the form again. Strange.

Thanks...going to try with a clean blank database and see if that fixes my problem.

THis does not allow multiple instances of the same form though. Every time I click the button, the form that was open disappears and a new one opens in the center of the screen. What is happening here? It may open a new instance, but the old instance closes...

But how do you manipulate x then docmd.openform "x" does not work what do i do to work with each instance of the form. I don't want to replicate multiple users, just work with multiple records from the same table

I believe you can...that's one of the big things thats "changed" with vb.net. There is no default form instance. Just don't know the syntax in VBA

got the same thing as carol with the firewall on. Took down the firewall and got the same thing (d00d) with a pop-up for expedia travel.

I want to use create a variable that will hold a new instance of a form when it is opened....if that makes sense... Dim test As New Form_frmForm1 DoCmd.OpenForm "test" doesn't work. how do I then open that form once the variable has been initialized. Don't know where to go from here...

Your questions... My questions are: Can I build a form that accepts user input and then prints it out in a structured report. 1. Can this be done with just a form or just a report or do I need both. 2. If I use a form and then print to a report...how do I get the information on the form...

you ever think of splitting your database? He won't lose his backend data from the tables, and then you can easily replace the front end as he (or you) feel that there are updates to the project. Works fairly easy.

Office XP Developer is not shareware...or freeware Costs about 400.00

So I pay 200-300 $$ for the upgrade and then they release Office 2004 six months later. I can't keep up, technology or funding! Wonder what the release is for the next version after 2003... I'm afraid to develop anything now as I imagine the upgrade to vba.net will not be pretty...I'll have...

Anyone have a clue as to when the next version of MS Access will be shipping (year/quarter)? Will everything be converted over to vba.net and will I have to learn a completely new programming language to run it? Any thoughts on this? Thanks

I am creating a split database for various reasons. Is there an easy direct way to create a cmd button (in the front end) that would copy the backend .mdb to a location of the users choice as a security measure (backup)? Would that have to be coding through the windows API or does access/VBA...

I just programmed it and it worked like a charm. This bulletin board is a godsend. I'll be sure to pass your business name along to others. Thanks again

Now you're talking. That will work....Thanks a million!! That will do the trick!! I'd hug ya and kiss ya if I could. :) Woo hoo.

Calvin, I think I found out the reason you're code didn't work correctly...I don't have the datasource for the form tied to anything...therefore the recordsource wouldn't work. I think the hidden form will work, but would prefer not to do that. Just seems a bit messy and a waste of resources...

no way to set it in the expression builder eh? I'm getting zero results back with this. I have something messed up somewhere.,
