Detect if a Form is open or not

[sjn78]

I have an options box where the user can choose what text boxes are displayed on it.

If the form is open, you can go to the options dialog, make the selections and hit save. This then calls a sub procedure in the form to setup the text boxes to the new settings.

The problem I have is if the form isnt open and you hit save in the options dialog, the form will open when i don't want it to.

Is there a way to find if the form is currently open or should I put this code in a module instead.

Thanks for your help

Checking the forms enabled property will tell you if it is loaded or not.

Loop through the Forms collection - only loaded forms are in the collection.

I don't believe that the enabled property does anything except set the form to be enabled or not. You can still load a form with it's Enabled property set False (you just can't do anything with it!)

i agree with Johnwm. The enabled property has nothing to do with the state of the form in terms of loaded or unloaded. The form collection method should do the trick.
