making copies of a form 1

[rcreed1]

Hello again Access Experts

I just about have my form completely user friendly (thanks to you all) and I will need to make about 20 copies of that form, each with slight variations for each unit. I was wondering, for when I get there what is the best way to make a copy of a form so both the appearance and functions are copied. I can then go in and slightly modify the suttle differences.

Thank you
SFC Reed

Use the Shortcut menu Copy and Paste. This will copy the whole form including any code module.

Right-Click the form and Copy. Right-Click any blank area in the DB window and Paste. You will be prompted for a new name for the copy.

I didn't follow you other thread, so I don't know your level. Depending on the "minor changes" you need to make it you may want to create one form and display/hide controls depending on the user that is logged on. Having multiple copies of forms and code increases your overhead. Also, maintenance would be much harder than just one form.
