I don't know how Getz et al do this, but I do it by putting a standard
module in the library, and writing a public function to open the form.

Public Function OpenSesame()
    DoCmd.OpenForm <form name>
End Function

After you set a reference to the library, you can call the function
as you would any other public function.
