Open form in a New Window using a command button

[jmartmem]

I have an Access 2002 main form ("Project Update Form") with a subform ("sfEZMilestone").

What I want is to somehow change the subform to a command button so when a user clicks the command button, it will open the subform in a new window (like a pop up window). There, the user can update and edit the fields as necessary then close the window and return to the main form.

The Link Child Field is ID and the Link Master Field is ID.

Regards,

This is going to come down to handling your Form_Load() in each forms and Form_Unload to get the kind of navigation you want.

The basics of this is below though, and I think there are even wizards that will generate this by placing a command button on a form, you can tell it that you want to perform Form Operations with that button.

Private Sub Command2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Command2_Click
 
    Dim stDocName As String
    Dim stLinkCriteria As String
 
    stDocName = "Form1"
    DoCmd.OpenForm stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
 
Exit_Command2_Click:
    Exit Sub
 
Err_Command2_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_Command2_Click
 
End Sub
