Dim frm As Form

[Dib]

Hi,

How can I call a form at run-time based on the value from a table.


Dim frm as Form
Dim sForm as String


sForm = rs.Fields(1).Value

frm.Name=sForm

frm.Show()

This is what I am doing. Is this wrong?

What is the correct syntex.

Thanks
Dib

Thanks for your reply. This is too much for me!

I set the code like this
Dim frm As Form = DirectCast(Activator.CreateInstance(Type.GetType(sForm)),
Form)

and I got an error Value cannot be Null



What did I do wrong?



Thanks
