If the form is opened acdialog then code execution stops in the calling form and the calling form cannot manipulate the closed form, but it you do not open it dialog you can manipulate it. Not necessarily better, depends on you needs. Let me do a demo that may help.
So it this demo
1)Open frmCallingProduct1
2) from the combo select a product and hit the get product button
3) should open the product form to the selected product and color the form
4)open frmCallingProduct2
5)repeat step 2
6) this moves the form to the new product selected in form 2
This shows I can manipulate a non acdialog form from the first and second calling form. Also shows that the calling forms should manipulate the called form without knowledge of who called.
