The Forms collection is a collection of *open* forms, if the form isn't
open, it's not in that collection. You can get at forms without opening them
via other collections (DAO Containers and Documents or
CurrentProject.AllForms) but you can't manipulate the Recordsource property
via those collections. In short, you can't change the recordsource property
before opening the form. You could, if you wish, open the form hidden, and
set the property before displaying it.
