Custom OpenForm code - Close and open your form

One of the major issues with DoCmd.OpenForm is it doesn’t close the form before opening it again. This can lead to unexpected behavior of your application, so of course I created my own open form code:

Public Function OpenMyForm(strForm As String, Optional DataMode As AcFormOpenDataMode, Optional WindowMode As AcWindowMode, Optional strWhere As String, Optional strOpenArgs As String) As Boolean
   DoCmd.Close acForm, strForm
   DoCmd.OpenForm strForm, , strWhere, strWhere, DataMode, WindowMode, strOpenArgs
End Function

You will notice there are some missing arguments from my code, I just don’t use all of the arguments available to me when opening a form, (for example: the filter argument).
