Hi Lal,

If you are using VFP forms, Nadya is correct. Setting the form as modeless will allow multiple copies. If you do this, you may also want to be sure you are using a private datasession for the form, so each form copy has individual record pointers.

If you are using VB, all you need to do is use a form reference, and the Set and New keywords. For example, in your menu code that loads the form, instead of doing:

frmMyForm.Show

try:

Dim x As Form
Set x = New frmMyForm
x.Show

This will allow you to create multiple instances of the form. Note that since you are now creating new instances of the form with each call, your form close
method should unload the form, not just hide it.
