How to refresh an access form

I am building an MS Access application in which all the forms are modal. However, after data change in a form, I want to refresh the parent form of this form with newer data. Is there any way to do it. To elaborate further :

Consider there are two forms, Form A and Form B. Both are modal form. From Form A, I initiate Form B, and now Form B has the user attention. But at the close of form B, I want to refresh the Form A. Is there a way to do it?

Solution

  • No, it is like I want to run Form_Load of Form A,if it is possible

    The usual way to do this is to put the relevant code in a procedure that can be called by both forms. It is best put the code in a standard module, but you could have it on Form a:

    Form B:

    Sub RunFormALoad()
   Forms!FormA.ToDoOnLoad
End Sub

    Form A:

    Public Sub Form_Load()
    ToDoOnLoad
End Sub    

Sub ToDoOnLoad()
    txtText = "Hi"
End Sub
