Form Question

How do I load multiple instances of the same form?

I get an "object already loaded" error when I use frm.show

'this what you are after

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim frm As Form
    Dim x As Integer
    For x = 1 To 4
        Set frm = New Form1
        frm.Visible = True
    Next

End Sub

Thanks, Joe.

How do I distinguish between the forms once I've loaded them?

I'm only able to unload the one that I loaded "directly" (load frm) and not the one that I loaded through a variable (dim frm2 as Form, set frm2 = new frm)

[Achichincle]

Unload frm2 ?

best thing is when you new up an instance is to add it to a collection. The you have somewhere to retrieve them from.

dim frmInstance as form1

set frmInstance = new form1
colForms.add frmInstance, cstr(frmInstance.hWnd)

You can use the handle of the form as a key for it, so if you want to retrieve a specific form you can. You can always create your own keys as well.
