Opening a Form in Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
Hi all,



I've been using VB in Access, but have just started using VB 2005 a couple of days ago, so I'm pretty much a newbie

I have searched the other threads in the forum, but cant seem to be able to use the following code

Code:
formname.hide
formname.show


neither can i use the following code

Code:
DoCmd.OpenForm "formname"


I'm sure that this is pretty elementary, but I'd really appreciate some help.

Thanks in advance!

Just for further clarification,

The error message I got while trying to debug was that the DoCmd was not declared. Same thing with the hide and show form

Appreciate any help!

Thanks

DoCmd is only available in Access VBA (or possibly other Office products VBA).

There are plenty of examples in the VB online help, you could start there.

Hi, Doug,

Thanks for your reply

I found out what my mistake was.

I should have used

Code:
Me.Hide()
frmMainMenu.Show()


Thanks again
