I'm not too worried about it as doing the thisform.release like you initially suggested already works. I was just curious as to why calling the _DoCmd did not work when it turns around and does a thisform.release.

Anyhow, I'll just stick with a thisform.release and call it a day!

Thanks so much for your help.
