access:close one form open another and vice versa
Posted on 2011-03-02
I have two forms linked to each other by command buttons.
I want to make sure that when one form opens the other closes and vice versa.
The reason I want to do this is to make sure that data is saved/updated when the other form is gone into. They have data common to one table.
Is there an easy way to achieve what I want.

Try putting something like this in the Form_Open event for each form
Dim strFormName As String
strFormName = "OtherFormName"
DoCmd.Close acForm, strFormName
If the other form isn't actually open the DoCmd.Close command will throw and error but you can trap that in an error handler. Let me get back to you.

More than one way to accomplish that. You can specify a startup form for the database; you can create a macro named Autoexec that will be executed each time the database opens - in the macro you have an OpenForm command to oepn the desired form.
What version of Access?

In Access 2003 and earlier: from the Tools menu choose Startup. In the combo box for Display Form/Page: select the form you want to be displayed at startup
In Access 2007: select the Access orb/globe/thing-a-majob and choose Access Options. Select Current Database in the left pane. In the right pane, in the Application Options section, you'll see a combo box titled Diaply Form: where you can select the form you want displayed at startup.
