Hey Experts -<br />
<br />
Can someone explain to me why I can't open a form using form.show? &nbsp;That is the correct call to open a form from within a sub routine, isn't it? &nbsp;When I try and use this command it says that &quot;reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference.&quot; &nbsp;Please help.<br />
