Where are my forms

I have an application that will be importing data. As the loads can take
long enough for users to wonder if anything is happening, I want to put up a
form that can let them know what's happening. So I built the form and went
to have my code open and update it. I was attempting to do this via

load <formname.
<formname>.show

Well, I have no idea where you got that syntax; it's certainly not
anything from Access!

Try

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMyForm", <optional parameters>

See the online help for the OpenForm Method for details.

Other posts in the thread have addressed specific problems, but I want to
try to draw your attention to the underlying cause of the problems you're
experiencing. Because Visual Basic and Access share the same core
programming language, it is easy to forget that they have very different
object models. An Access form is a *very* different beast from a Visual
Basic form. Don't be deceived by the similarities, don't expect an Access
form to behave like a Visual Basic form. It won't.
