Creating a button that opens a wizard!

[Andrew]

I was just wondering, if there is a way that i can create a command button in
a form that opens a wizard, for example; butten name= "Create new Form"
Action ="Open the Create new Form Wizard". So far, i can only open existing
data through a form.

thx

Why would you want to do this?

Usually those Wizards are for developer (author/architect/whatever)
use. We don't normally expect our end users to be running those
Wizards. The wizards used to be written in VBA and placed in a secured
add-in. To launch those Wizards, you would need to write VBA and make
a call to the Wizard's entrypoint. What version of Access are you
running?

Im trying to make the database more user friendly, so i can have everything
in the database accessable from the main title form.

But you don't need to use the MS supplied wizards for that purpose.

I think you are setting yourself up some headaches if you allow users to
create their own forms.

But "users" should not be making new forms, so why would they need the form
wizard?

Anyway, have you tried...

DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdNewObjectForm
