Ok got it mostly working :-(.

1.I execute a command button that loads the form with data from a members
data.
2.Then cmd.openform formname,windowmode:=acdialog
3.Operator would make any changes to the data needed.
4.Execute a command button that ....visible=false
5.That turns the code loose to change any data in the members data as you
said

However that only works the 2nd time around :-(

So I tried cmd.openform formname ...
before loading the form with members data 1. above with a bunch of options
but no banana
With this then 2. above doesn't stop anymore

So what can I do to load the form with data before the acdialog command? TIA

You have me really confused here.

acDialog is NOT a command. It's an optional parameter specifying the
window mode in which the form will be opened.

And you don't "load a form with data" - a form is just a window ONTO
data. You can use the (again, optional) WhereCondition argument to
Openform (again, read the help file for details) to control which
record or records are visible in that window when the form opens.

I have NO trace of a notion what you mean by "2nd time around".

Could you a) post your code and b) describe what happens when the form
runs? maybe also what it's not doing that you'ld like it to do?
Remember, we can't see your screen!
