How do I set form visible from another form

[Thelma Roslyn Lubkin]

If I close and reopen the form I lose its changes even if I set acSave
to yes when closing.

So I'm trying to keep the form open throughout but making it visible
only when necessary.

So how can I set the visible property from code in the calling form?

thanks, --thelma

Then I must have another problem. This hasn't been working for
me. The name has no spaces, but it has some capitalization.
If I type it with incorrect capitalization I don't get the
autocorrect version. But when I put that same name in quotes and
use it in a docmd.openform statement, it has no trouble opening it.
