First of all...this forum is nice! Lots of information. It's been a great help for me already.

Now my problem.

I have 2 forms.

The main form and then another form I want to pop up when I need more information.

I'm a little confused on how to do this.

Do I have to create a new instance of the form and then do .setfocus on it? Or will the DoCmd function work fine? Also, I need to send information to this form that will be used by it to complete it's operation when the user presses a button. Will I have access to the main forms values from the other form?

Code examples will really help me out. Thanks.

Using the wizard put a command button on your first form and then select Form Operation / Open Form. NEXT Select the name of the second form NEXT Choose the first option NEXT Choice the primary key and thats it.
