Setfocus to another form if it's open

[Adam Thwaites]

I have two forms, frm_One and frm_Two. There is code on frm_One to check if
frm_Two is open and if it is switch to it:

If Forms![frm_Two].Visible = True Then
Forms![frm_Two].SetFocus

But this doesn't work as if frm_Two is closed I get the 'Database can't find
the form frm_Two... error.'
How else can I do this?

If you don't have it already, you can use the IsLoaded function from the
sample MDB NorthWind.Mdb
=============================
public function IsLoaded(FormName as String) As Boolean
dim strFName as String ' convert to lcase
dim frm as Form ' iterate forms collection

' ignore case
strFName = LCase$(FormName)

' assume it's not there
IsLoaded = False

' look through open forms
For Each frm in Forms
' could use StrComp if you prefer
If LCase$(frm.Name) = strTemp
' found it
IsLoaded = True
' don't bother going round any more
Exit For

End If
Next frm
End Function
===============================
And then use your code
If IsLoaded("frm_Two") Then
Forms![frm_Two].SetFocus

If you use A2000 or later, use:

If (CurrentProject.AllForms("frm_Two").IsLoaded = True) Then
Forms![frm_Two].SetFocus
....

Excellent, works like a charm. Thanks

If (CurrentProject.AllForms("frm_Two").IsLoaded = True) Then
