title: Declaring and Setting Form Variable in Access VBA
body: <p>It seems so simple, but I can't seem to find the correct syntax.  I am looking to create a form variable for an unopened form in my Access 2013 application so I can pass the form object to a series of methods rather than passing separate properties of the form.</p>
  
  <p>Here's what I've been attempting, but I run into Run-time error '2465' "Microsoft Access can't find the field 'frmSuppliers' referenced in your expression.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub cmdSuppliers_Click()
      Dim frm As Form
      Set frm = Form("frmSuppliers")
  
      Debug.Print frm.Name
  </code></pre>
