How to closing forms

I've created several forms/queries which are accessed via command buttons.

So that I don't end-up with several forms open simultaneously, how do I
close the form that included the command button if it's no longer needed
after the new form is open?

I've looked at the logic in the Docmd.Close function and thought about
trying to incorporate that in the logic for the "Open Form" button, but have
no idea how to do that or it it's the way this should be done.

Thanks for your help.
 
Hi, Sorsche.

Click to expand...

Use the DoCmd.Close method to close the current form. For example, try:

Private Sub OpenAssetsBtn_Click()

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmAssets"
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name

Exit Sub

ErrHandler:

MsgBox "Error in OpenAssetsBtn_Click( ) in " & Me.Name & " form." & _
vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear

End Sub

.... where the button is named OpenAssetsBtn, and the other form is named
frmAssets.

HTH.
