[AccessD] Loading more than one instance of a form

I would want the ability to multi-select several rows in say a datasheet presentation, then open them all as single-instance forms. Why? So I could compare them / copy detail rows from one to another etc. This is not rocket science, at least in terms of UI -- although admittedly this or that UI might make it difficult. But look at it this way: I'm a pizza-parlour and you're a customer whose last three orders were all different (depending upon the guests you invited). I want to open all those orders at once and be able to select, copy and paste any detail row to from any of the three previous orders to the new order. Why should that be difficult? It should take about five clicks and we're done and the pizza(s) will be there within 30 minutes. End of story.

...if it were "just" the method in question both Browne and Daigle have 
excellent sample mdbs that use set new form and then control the 
multiplicity and persistence from a collection ...but you're trying to 
bypass "New" and go directly to an existing collection/object as I 
understand it ...which is a bit different ...as are most things you're into 
these days :)
