I am not one to be able to give you authoritative advise, but look into the .visible property of the form, and the possibility of creating methods on the form which will enable it to be hidden without actually releasing them. Once done, you may also be able to have a method to have the form "show" itself. I am supposing that your data environments are not built in a way that will make them crash with each other, by using the proper "alias" when you call them. Good luck with this, and keep me posted, as I am also learning about all this.
Others more versed in these matters will chip in, I'm sure. PabloSr ------------------------------------------------------ Value, above all, persons, not things! Peace.

Are there any particular settings I need to look into? * * Also, I have two variables I use in each form to keep track of * whether or * not I'm in adding mode or edit mode.
