Morning All

This Toggle Switch code has been working fine until now.
Now the error message says
Run-time error 401
Can`t show non-modal form when modal form is displayed
How do I overcome this

Private Sub Parts_Form_Click()


If Me.Parts_Form.Value = True Then

Jobcard_Parts.Show False

        Me.Width = 225
        Me.Height = 60
        Me.Parts_Form.Top = 0
        Me.Parts_Form.Left = 0
        Me.Parts_Form.Caption = "Close Parts Form"
        Me.Top = 700
        Me.Left = 0
Else

Jobcard_Parts.Hide

Body_And_Vehicle_Type_Form.Show False

        Me.Width = 1013
        Me.Height = 630
        Me.Parts_Form.Top = 450
        Me.Parts_Form.Left = 10
        Me.Parts_Form.Caption = "Open Parts Form"
        Me.Top = 0
        Me.Left = 300
End If

End Sub

Sorry forms are to big the have frames
The code below opens the Job Cards Parts Form.
But it will not hide Body and Vehicle Type form?
And then I can`t hide the Jobcard Parts Form then show Body And Vehicle Type Form?
It gets to this part of the code then jumps over the rest

Jobcard_Parts.Show

Private Sub Parts_Form_Click()


If Me.Parts_Form.Value = True Then

Me.Parts_Form.Caption = "Close Parts Form"

Jobcard_Parts.Show

        Me.Width = 225
        Me.Height = 60
        Me.Parts_Form.Top = 0
        Me.Parts_Form.Left = 0
        Me.Top = 700
        Me.Left = 0
      
Else

Jobcard_Parts.Hide

Me.Parts_Form.Caption = "Open Parts Form"

Body_And_Vehicle_Type_Form.Show

        Me.Width = 1013
        Me.Height = 630
        Me.Parts_Form.Top = 450
        Me.Parts_Form.Left = 10
        Me.Top = 0
        Me.Left = 300
End If

End Sub

consider workarounds. eg use a multipage and switch between groups if items.
i actually built a whole system for a motor mechanic. you will never get all the service options on 1 page. i used a multipage and split jobs into sections. eg heavy engine, transmissions, general service, suspension, etc, then the parts list becomes specific to the task and you end up with a lot more space.

your clashing userform issue could be caused by something else that you have not considered. i found that nonmodal userforms were prone to glitching, and i avoid using them

Good plan I think I will adopt what you said
Thanks for your help
