Can't find forms

64
Good morning.

I continually run into "Can't find forms" errors when trying to refer to a form other than the one I am in while writing vb code. I have tried all kinds of different syntax. What is the correct syntax to refer to a form from the program within another form. Does it matter if the other form is open or not.

The instance is:
When incorrect data is entered into a control on a form, I open a warning sign to alert the user. Then when that warning closes, I need to make the orginal form active and be able to set the focus to the control on that form where the error is. I have tried using the msgbox method with the various vb buttons and I'm still having difficulty getting the focus back to the orginal form after the warning box closes.

thanks

-Tom

The form has to be open.
