Re: Multiple Instances of a Form to second level

Yes, its similar.

You have this declaration in the General Declarations section of a standard module to manage the instances:
Public clnClient As New Collection

Now you need a similar declaration in the module of the form:
Private clnOther As New Collection
Each form instance therefore has its own dependent collection it manages.

When it comes to this type of programming, I must admit that I do not have a
good an understanding as I need to. Let me be sure I understand what you are
suggesting.

I would do the same thing that your solution does, except that I would do
this one at the first form level. This would then reverence the second level
form.

Correct?

I'll have to give it a try and then I may still have questions.

Thanks for the suggestion and help.

Each instance of this first form will be instantiated separately, and that
instance will then have its own collection.

As I said, that suggestion untested, but should work.
