SUMMARY
This article shows you how to use Visual Basic for Applications to open
multiple instances of a form. Being able to open multiple instances of a
form enables you to work on more than one record at once. For example, in
an Order Entry application, you can start taking an order, pause and take a
second order, and then return to the first order, without losing any data.
