I like using the tabbed document window mode in Access, but the problem is that when you start using many tabs (forms) without closing the previous one, users will go from tab to tab without the data refreshing. I could close each tab when a new one is opened, but I'd like to try to just disable the tab to force people to close the one they're using yet keep the menu tab visible. There's no form.enable cmd... any ideas for disabling the tab?

I may not be understanding your problem properly, but why not open them in dialog mode so your users have to close them before they can goto another form?

you got me curious about dialog mode, so I palyed around and got what I wanted by having the forms selected from the main menu to be Popup, Modal, and No Border.
