Hi,

I don't know how to go about this: I have an order form that can be accessed by different menus. If the order form is opened from MenuA, I want certain controls to be invisible and deactivated, but if the order form is opened from MenuB, all controls are active.

Thanks!

Create a copy of the form and deactivate the controls on it and call the copy from MenuA.

That is what I currently do, but I end up with several versions of a form. When I need to do a change in the original form I have to do the same changes to all the copies and this leaves room to error when I forget a form. I would have appreciated finding a way around this.

Thanks anyways.

Open the form with OpenArgs set to "MenuA" or "MenuB"... then in the load Event of the form, evaluate the OpenArg and set the control.enabled = false or true as appropriate.
