[AccessD] Refreshing a form

[Rocky Smolin]

This is what I ended up with:

If isFormLoaded("frmMaintenanceDashboard") = True Then
        Call Forms("frmMaintenanceDashboard").cmdRefresh_Click
    End If

Since the form - frmTasks - can be opened in two places, I had to check to
see if frmMaintenanceDashboard was loaded.

The whole module looks like this:

Private Sub cmdExit_Click()

    DoCmd.Close
    If isFormLoaded("frmTaskListAll") = True Then
        Forms!frmTaskListAll.Form.Requery
    End If

    If isFormLoaded("frmMaintenanceDashboard") = True Then
        Call Forms("frmMaintenanceDashboard").cmdRefresh_Click
    End If

End Sub

The module cmdRefresh_Click has more than just a refresh command:

Public Sub cmdRefresh_Click()
    DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdSaveRecord

    Call MakeMaintenanceDashboardTable

    Me.Requery
    Me.cmdExit.SetFocus

End Sub

So I had to make the module Public and call it.  But all works a treat now.

Thanks to all

Rocky
