I tried that and the form still opened in "Normal" mode. Wierd huh? I finally figured out how to use the command properly. The acFormDS property did the trick.
Dim stDocName As String
stDocName = "frmAddCat"
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, acFormDS
' ******
That seems to work, but it's wierd that changing the property didn't do it.
Thanks Mark.
