How can you tell if you form has been opened in edit mode of add mode? (ie by
the switchboard). I would like my form for add record to be as limited as
posible (no selectors etc) where as view all will require more detail. I
thought if I could tell which mode it was opened in I could hide/change
controls as reqd.
Or should I just create 2 different forms.

Thanks in advance

You can pass an argument to your form, and check it in the form's Open or
Load event.

Look up the OpenForm Method in the Help file for how to pass, and follow the
hyperlink to OpenArgs Property.
