Question

Hey so I am working on some forms in VBA and am having some issues. I open other forms from my main form, but when I exit one of the other forms using the red “x” button, it closes my main form as well, not just the other form.

How can I prevent this?

Answer 1

You should use a code that only closes the sub form.

e.g. your sub form name is SubForm1

DoCmd.Close acForm, "SubForm1"

But since you are using x-button to close the sub form, you can use QueryClose Event.

Private Sub UserForm_QueryClose(Cancel As Integer, CloseMode As Integer)
    If CloseMode = 0 Then
     Cancel = True
    End if
End Sub

PS: helpful if you could post your code by editing your question.
