Pop-up a form

[Xenocide]

Hi

I have a normal form called CreateId. Normally I use the menu i made to call it. But I need to call it from another form called EnterFee if a special case occur.

I would like CreateId to be called as a pop-up instead of taking all the screen.. is that possible.. without modifying CreateId itself so it stay normal when I use it normally by the menu?

Thanks

Try:

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal, , , , acDialog

With jbpez, I suggest to use OpenArgs of the form. So that you can control the second form's style & properties as well here is a sample how to do it..

DoCmd.OpenForm "Form1", acNormal, , , , acDialog[COLOR=red], "FrmEmployees"[/color]

[b][COLOR=green]'This code for the second form[/color][/b]
Private Sub Form_Load()
Select Case Forms!FrmEmpMaster.OpenArgs

[COLOR=green]'Opening from Employees Listview on frmStartup subform===========[/color]  
 Case [COLOR=red]"FrmEmployees"[/color]         
         Me.AllowEdits = False
         Me.Caption = "Details of " & Me.Text16.Value        
         Me.cmdCanelMasterForm.Visible = False
         Me.cmdNextMain.Visible = False
         Me.cmdStart.Visible = False
         Me.CmdMainSaveClose.Caption = "Close"         
[COLOR=green]'Opening for New Employee entry ============================[/color] 
  Case [COLOR=red]"NewEmployee"[/color]
         Me.Caption = "New Employee"
         Me.EmployeeID.SetFocus
         Me.CmdMainSaveClose.Enabled = False    
End Select
End Sub
