Loading database form from another form and making it either modal or invisible

Hello everyone,

I’m loading a form form another form by pressing a button. But I’d like to either make that child form modal or the parent invisible, so that there is no possibility of going back to it without closing the child form first.

All forms were created in IDE.

If anyone could set me in the right direction, I’d be very grateful.

There used to be the following extension:
https://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/openofficeorg-base-switchboard

but it doesn’t look like it is maintained any more, so it might not work. It might give you some idea of what is possible with a bit of macro programming though.

Will be better to close the form, which shouldn’t be seen. If you are going back to the form and it hasn’t been closed the shown data are the “old” data. Nothing has been refreshed.
