I have this form with about 4  comand buttons on it but 1 of them is not 
working the way it should.

Private Sub cmdChangeVendor_Click()
  DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
  DoCmd.OpenForm "Selection Vendor and Reviewer", acNormal
End Sub

Private Sub cmdMainMenu_Click()
  DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
  DoCmd.OpenForm "Invoice Database Launch", acNormal
End Sub

cmdMainMenu_Click works fine but cmdChangeVendor_Click doesn't work. 
"Selection Vendor and Reviewer" doesn't open, nothing open. but when I run it 
using the Toggle Breakpoint everything works the way it should. The other 
thing is when I try to use this variation:
Private Sub cmdChangeVendor_Click()
  DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
  DoCmd.OpenForm Forms![Selection Vendor and Reviewer], acNormal
End Sub
I get an error saying that "Selection Vendor and Reviewer" doesn't exist 
when I know damn sure it does.
Can any one tell me what is going on here?
 Thanks

From the Help:

FormName   Required Variant. A string expression that's the valid name of a
form in the current database. If you execute Visual Basic code containing the
OpenForm method in a library database, Microsoft Access looks for the form
with this name first in the library database, then in the current database.

You're not passing the form name as a text string. You're passing a Form
object.

Try

DoCmd.OpenForm "Selection Vendor and Reviewer", acNormal

I don't know if you saw the whole thing I wrote this were my original codes:
Private Sub cmdChangeVendor_Click()
  DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
  DoCmd.OpenForm "Selection Vendor and Reviewer", acNormal
End Sub

Private Sub cmdMainMenu_Click()
  DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
  DoCmd.OpenForm "Invoice Database Launch", acNormal
End Sub

The first one doesn't work but the second works fine. Thats what I am trying 
to figure out.

Double check to make sure that the form name is exactly the same (that there 
are not any extra spaces, etc.) by right-clicking on the form and selecting 
RENAME and then copy the name and then paste it into your code.

Maybe you should just change the name of the form to something shorter and 
without spaces:
Like frmSelVendorAndReviewer
and then open using that.

That didn't work. I found out that when I open the form by itself from the 
database window, without opening use the other form, the button works fine. 
It just don't work when I try to when I try to work things the way it was 
design to.

You don't, by chance, have this form already opened as a subform in another 
form do you?
