I think I know what he means. You have a main form (A) and when you click a button, another form comes up (B). B requires tables and such that are opened by A. When you are working on coding/testing B, rather than closing everything and loading A, then B, you just leave A open all the time and run B manually.

Does that make more sense? I apologize if I'm misunderstanding, too. :)
