You want to open the same form twice -- having two open instances of the
same form? 

Susan H. 

If you want to load a form you normally use docmd.open.  However it is
possible to use a set statement:
 
dim myform as form
Set MyForm = new form_MyFormName
 
which is really setting a reference to the form's class.  Is there a syntax
to load it from a collection so that you could use a syntax something like
 
set MyForm = new someobject.somecollection("MyFormName")
 
I have never been able to figure out how to do this but I thought I'd ask
the experts (you guys).
