Add

DoCmd.Close acForm, "frmAllDealer", acSaveNo

after your OpenForm statement.

This should do it. Note: I added a check to save the current record, in case
it was dirty (ie. being edited). This way, the AccountNumber should be
current if it was changed (if it is not an autonumber). Also, using code to
close a form can result in a loss of edits if a required field has not been
filled in.

Private Sub Command11_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command11_Click

Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String

If Me.Dirty = True Then
Me.Dirty = False
End If

stDocName = "frmDealer"
stLinkCriteria = "[AccountNumber]=" & Me![AccountNumber]
DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria

DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name '<-------********************

Exit_Command11_Click:
Exit Sub

Err_Command11_Click:
MsgBox Err.Description
Resume Exit_Command11_Click

End Sub


To make your code a bit more readable, I suggest that you rename the command
button Command11 to something like cmdOpenDealersForm.
