Hi,
My project is in MS Access 2002.
In that I want to open one form multiple times.
I put one button on my main form.
Now whenever I click on that button than form will be open.
Now when I click again on that same button than it will open same form
again in seperate window.
But instead of that already open form comes.and so i couldn't open
that form multiple times.
Already open form must be remain as it is even if I click on that
button to open the same form again.
I want this, bcz I am using this form to enter some readings, taken at
half hour time interval,in table.If I couldn't open form multiple
times than at the end of day I have to enter the all readings.And it
will take time(1 hour) bcz this readings are taken from different line
in production area.And in my company we have 30-40 production lines in
one room.we have 9 rooms like this.
If I can open same form multiple times than whenever someone taken
readings and give me at half hour interval than I can enter it at that
time.so my work be in progress every half hour and I don't have to
enter all readings at the end of day.

So plz if someone have solution then give it to me.
Thanks.

Using this info I can open the form multiple times.
But I want to enter details in table.
So when I enter different details in both form(same form open twice)
open at a time and save it and check table then it simply enter the
details of first open form twice in table.
So can u tell me how can I enter details from both form?
Thanks for ur reply.

That's very strange. You must be doing something to filter
both instances to the same record. I thought you would want
to add new records or edit precreated records with a
different time stamp.
