Access VBA, Referencing Forms

In this article I will explain how you can reference access forms using VBA. For example:

Form_MyTable1.Recalc
Form_MyTable1.Requery
Form_MyTable1.Controls.Item (1)
Form_MyTable1.Width = 45

but before this can be done the Form_MyTable1 needs to be created. This can be done by following the steps below:
