Duplicate forms

[Guest]

Hi Everyone,
I want to ensure that two copies of a form are not running at the same time
- I don't care of its the first or the second that runs, but not both, or
subsequent.

As always, I thank you in advance in for kind consideration.
Regards,
Pat.

In the form open event of one form check to see if the other form is open.
If it is then cancel the Open event:

In frmForm2 open event:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmForm1").IsLoaded Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

In frmForm1 open event:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
If CurrentProject.AllForms("frmForm2").IsLoaded Then
Cancel = True
End If
End Sub

Check this link

To check if a form open using the above link, after you copy the function, try

If fIsLoaded("Form1") Then
MsgBox "Form1 is open"
Else
Docmd.OpenForm "Form2"
End If
