Creates, runs, and closes a form object that you specify. The form is run modally. When a form is run modally, no input (keyboard or mouse click) can occur except to objects on the modal form. If, at design time, you do not know the specific form that you want to run, use this function or the FORM.RUN Function (Form). If you do know the specific form that you want to run, you can use the RUN Function (Form) or RUNMODAL Function (Form) to specify a variable.
