Here's an ugly hack I found:

DoCmd.SelectObject , , True
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdNewObjectForm

The RunCommand step doesn't give you programmatic control of the object, you'll have to Dim a Form variable and Set using Forms.Item(). I usually close the form after DoCmd.RunCommand, then DoCmd.Rename with something useful (my users don't like Form1, Form2, etc.).

Hope that helps.
