Open Form acDialog
Hello Experts, I have the below code firing on my main form. When the main form opens, the other forms in teh code open if Dcount>0. I have noticed that the forms open all at once and not on...
actually there are Errors in your code!
did you disable error checking?
see your sample:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmNotifications", WindowMode:=acDialog
did you noticed what is wrong?
if not then, here you define WindowMode:=acDialog, but, did you define the FormName?
should be:
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="frmNotifications", WindowMode:=acDialogfor the acFormDS form:
DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="frmNotificationsDateCheck", View:=acFormDS, WindowMode:=acDialog
do it with the rest of your code.
Agreed, but sometimes plan B works when plan A, which would be more elegant doesn't.
I will take a look tomorrow, but I'm not confident you can control the opening of the downstream forms that way, although I agree that opening a form with the dialog mode is supposed to suspend processing of subsequent.

OK. FYI: I do have the forms as pop up and modal. Let me know if you have any other ideas. thank you
