How to make forms open in same window?

[ITHELP85]

In my database app. I want all the forms to open in one window and not pop up several different ones when you click one a button on the menu page. How can I make this happen?

Well u could check out the move method in VB help. This way u can have each form open on the same spot.

If you are on Access 2000, 2002, or 2003 then you just need to go into TOOLS > OPTIONS > VIEW and uncheck the WINDOWS IN TASKBAR checkbox.

I know that this thread is very old, but that's what the search feature is for!

I am trying to do this method but it doesn't make any difference to mine. I have a form with just a button on, and you click that button and a parameter query opens where you enter in a name. When you press enter the form with the results in displays as a new form.

How can I get it to 'replace' the form where the button is located?

Well, it's been quite a while away from Access, but let's see if I can help.

Question: why do you have to click a button first for the query params window to popup then supply the params? Why not put textboxes on the form where the params can be entered in directly?

This way, code the button to open the same form passing in the params, and possibly some passing some openargs argument to set some sort of flag, if needed.
