CreateForm Method
The CreateForm method creates a form and returns a Form object.CreateForm([database[, formtemplate]])
The CreateForm method has the following arguments.
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| database | A string expression identifying the name of the database that contains the form template you want to use to create a form. If you want the current database, omit this argument. If you want to use an open library database, specify the library database with this argument. |
| formtemplate | A string expression identifying the name of the form you want to use as a template to create a new form. If you omit this argument, Microsoft Access bases the new form on the template specified by the Forms/Reports tab of the Options dialog box, available by clicking Options on the Tools menu. |
Remarks
You can use the CreateForm method when designing a wizard that creates a new form.
The CreateForm method opens a new, minimized form in form Design view.
If the name you use for the formtemplate argument isn't valid, Visual Basic uses the form template specified by the Form Template setting on the Forms/Reports tab of the Options dialog box.
The CreateForm method creates minimized forms and reports.

Set frm = CreateForm( , "Customers")
