Array of Forms

How can I create a [control?] array of forms?

Unlike controls the form does not have an Index property.

I have an MDI form and the user may want to open several documents, so how can I create a new form for each document in run-time?

You can open a new instance of a form as you would with any object. This is then added to the form collection.

Well that was easy :).

So all I have to call is

Code:

Load New frmMDIChild

And it is added to the forms collection, thanks for that.

Owain, forms are different to control arrays - the Load statement is only needed if you want to create an invisible form; otherwise just use the Show method and that will load the form too, e.g.

Code:

Dim f As frmMDIChild
Set f = New frmMDIChild
f.Caption = "hello"
f.Show
