[AccessD] Instantiate Forms as Objects

Ken,

One of the problems with the "Set rFrm = New Form_Whatever" syntax is
that Form_Whatever isn't really the form object, it's the class module.
You can instantiate a module object in code using   Set mdl =
Modules("Form_Whatever"), but that doesn't get you where you want to go,
and the module has to be open for that to work, just as a form has to be
open to use the Set frm = Forms("Whatever").  There is obviously some
stuff going on under the hood that MS hasn't made apparent, some
automagic manipulations in the Set frm = New Form_Whatever expression. 

I'm still trying to find an old example of the approach I used.

So, how do you get muliple instances of the same form open without using
the "Set rFrm = New Form_YourForm" syntax?

Maybe JC knows differently, but as far as I know, you can't do it that
way, which is one of the reasons I don't use that syntax.
