Have I created that form yet?

[md_hiker]

Here's the set up in a nutshell.

I have a list of people. I click a name and a details window comes up. I want to be able to have numerous details windows open but I don't want to allow two of the same person so I can't use modal.

If there something I can interrigate to see if I've created a form yet?

TIA

If you are creating a new form each time, you can check if the form has been created.

if not frmDetail1 is nothing then
' Form is present

if frmDetail1.visible then
' Form is present and showing...
end if

end if


I hope that helps...

... or you could set the .Tag property of the form to the name of the person when you create it then loop through the forms, interrogating the tags before opening a new form. Or have the name the form the same as the person.

Is this enough of a pointer ?
