You must open it in design form before having access to the code. If we
change the variable MyForm to a type of Form and use an AccessObject instead
of an Object, we get something like:

Dim objDAP As AccessObject
Dim MyForm As Form

For Each objDAP In CurrentProject.AllForms
DoCmd.OpenForm objDAP.name, acDesign

Set MyForm = Forms(objDAP.name)
...

DoCmd.Close acForm, objDAP.name, acSaveYes

Next
