How to show a form at run-time?

Hi All,

This sounds simple, but I am still stumbling with it. My question is, how do I show a form, let's say "form1" at run-time if I found out the name of the form as "form1" at run-time. I know at design-time, you just say - form1.show.

I would appreciate it greatly if someone could help me out.

Thanx
Nabin

I think you are somewhat confused. what you wrote e.g Form1.Show is how you show a form at runtime. Type it in a code window (e.g. Command1_Click)

If it ain't broke - don't fix it :)

Well, I may not have worded correctly, but anyway, I found a solution browsing through VB Forums. Thanx to Aaron Young, this is his solution.

Private Sub Command1_Click() LoadForm "Form3", True
End Sub

Sub LoadForm(ByVal Formname As String, Optional ByVal bShow As Boolean = False) Dim iIndex As Integer
'Add the Form to the Forms Collection
'>>> Formname MUST exist to add it to the 'collection <<<
Forms.Add Formname
'Find the Index of the Form we just added For iIndex = 0 To Forms.Count - 1
If Forms(iIndex).Name = Formname Then Exit For
Next

If iIndex < Forms.Count Then
'If the Form Existed Then Load it Load Forms(iIndex)
If bShow Then Forms(iIndex).Show
End If
End Sub
