Stupid Code

[Eric]

When trying to call form 2 with form2.show or form2.show = true I get this
error

Run-Time error '424':
Object Required

I am trying to call form 2 from form 1. I am placing the code in the
command button. Am I placing the code in the wrong location?

Thank you

Ok. Let's start from the beginning.

Start a new form. We'll keep the default name of Form1.
Add a button. We'll call it cmdShowForm2, with a caption of "Goto Form2"
Double click on this button to get into the subroutine; Or just open the
code window and write Private Sub cmdShowForm2_Cl ick().
Under that line add the code: Form2.Show
Now we have to add another form. Let's do that now. I'll assume you
know how. Keep the default name of Form2.
In that new form add a button. We'll call the new button cmdShowForm1.
The Caption can be Goto Form1.
Double click on this button to get into the procedure called
cmdShowForm1_Cl ick() and add the following:
Form1.show

Now try to run the program. If this doesn't work then there may be a
problem with your installation.

Sorry. If you added this code manually, you'll also need a line named
End Sub underneath this line.
