Is it possible to open a form acDialog without it opening popup?

Hi
This may well have a simple answer but it eludes me as to what it is.
I have one form open from which a second one is shown to the user. This second form is set up with pop up and model set to yes and is opened in code as
DoCmd.openForm "frm_swap_results",,,,,acDialog
I need to populate this second form
e.g. Forms!frm_swap_results![WID1]=[dwdA]
In the above [dwdA] is a static variable defined in the first form and [WID1] is an unbound variable on the second form.
Unfortunately I keep getting the error message that access can't find the form frm_swap_results even though it is open on screen.
I would appreciate some guidance as to what I am doing wrong. helpAppreciate
I use the Docmd.open form with acDialog parameter as I need to interrupt the code for the user to select some information before proceeding. Is there anyway to control the size of the dialog box as currently in a continuous form format, it only shows 3-4 records. The screen is large enough to hold probably 10+ comfortably. There are vertical scroll bars but I would like the dialog box to open with more than 4 records showing.
Thanks
