Form SetFocus or Visible Property

[robert demo via AccessMonster.com]

What's the preferred way to simply switch between two open forms that are
maximized? I've heard that the form visible property can be used, whereas I
was wondering if the SetFocus property of the form wouldn't work better.

One caveat, Form 2 can be accessed from a number of other different forms.
If the visible property is used on Form 2, then code would have to be placed
in the other calling forms to ensure that Form 2 was visible when displayed.

Thanks.

SetFocus is the preferred method.
