ACC: Assigned Values Not Displayed When Form Opened As Dialog (109358)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Access 1.1
- Microsoft Access 2.0
- Microsoft Access for Windows 95 7.0
- Microsoft Access 97

Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.
SYMPTOMS
When you use the OpenForm method or macro action to open a form
as a dialog form, fields on the form do not display the values
that you assign to them.
This article assumes that you are familiar with Visual Basic for
Applications and with creating Microsoft Access applications using the
programming tools provided with Microsoft Access. For more information
about Visual Basic for Applications, please refer to your version of the
"Building Applications with Microsoft Access" manual.
NOTE: Visual Basic for Applications is called Access Basic in Microsoft
Access versions 1.x and 2.0. For more information about Access Basic,
please refer to the "Introduction to Programming" manual in Microsoft
Access version 1.x or the "Building Applications" manual in Microsoft
Access version 2.0.
CAUSE
This occurs because dialog forms are modal, and Microsoft Access suspends
code execution until the dialog form is closed. After the form is closed,
you cannot set values for any of its controls.
REFERENCES
For more information about opening forms as dialog forms in Microsoft
Access, search the Help Index for "modal forms."
