Hiding/Showing form

[JP Robb]

Hi All:

When I use a switchboard in a program and use it to open another form, the
switchboard hides (is not visibile...if I move or minimize the newly opened
form...the switchboard cannot be seen). Then when I close the new form the
switchboard is there.

How can I do this programmatically? I want to develop my own switchboard
(not using the standard, built-in) switchboard creation...and when I make a
selection, I want the custom switchboard to become invisible until I close
the other form.

Thank you in advance for any answers.

JP

In the OpenEvent of the second form..

Forms!NameOfForm.Visible = False

....and in its Close event...

Forms!NameOfForm.Visible = True
