How to decide if a specific form is open in Access VB
coding

What version of Access?
Access 2002:
If Not CurrentProject.AllForms("FormA").IsLoaded Then
Do something here
Else
Do something else
End If

In Access 97, copy this function (from the Northwind.mdb sample
database).

Function IsLoaded(ByVal strFormName As String) As Integer
' Returns True if the specified form is open in Form view or
Datasheet
view.

Const conObjStateClosed = 0
Const conDesignView = 0

If SysCmd(acSysCmdGetObjectState, acForm, strFormName) <>
conObjStateClosed Then
If Forms(strFormName).CurrentView <> conDesignView Then
IsLoaded = True
End If
End If
End Function

Then code:
If Not IsLoaded("FormA") Then
Do this
Else
Do that
End if

Also valid for Access 2000 with default ADO reference.
