Late Control binding to make Forms Field independant. (4 Viewers)

My first impression is of how difficult this interface is to navigate.
I don't speak Dutch which made things harder but I found the interface far from intuitive.

Within a few minutes I had a screen littered with multiple instances of the same form, all looking very similar, with each having to be closed in turn to get back to the original 'Home Persons' form.

When I did manage to close them all down so I was left with the original form only, I was unable to close it using X-Stop (nothing happened)
Clicking the other buttons on the left triggered this error on clicking the Taken (Tasks) button:

Probably a resource issue. The only way I could escape was by compacting the database to restart it.
After that the Taken button worked correctly opening a separate form where each of the textboxes again (mostly) opened separate forms
However, clicking Back_Home triggered a similar error

For an end user, this was a poor experience.

I also miss having the rich range of controls that are natively available in Access e.g. combos, listboxes, browser controls, images, option groups etc. Sorry but this wasn't something that I want to persevere with.

I would prefer to have my name on dialogs other than errors.

Sorry Duane.
Access automatically used the name that @Imb gave to the database.

I realize his naming choice based on my pleading for a simple example. Be careful what you ask for.
