OpenForm has an OpenArg option. I use this all the time in the situation you described. I just pass in something as simple as a string that I can decode in the OnOpen event of the receiving form.

FormA can be opened by either FormB or FormC. Depending on which form causes FormA to open, different things needs to happen. I'm not sure how to let FormA know which form opened it. The only thing I could think of was to use the TAG property. But, I can't set the TAG for FormA until it is open, but by then the on_open code has already run. Is this a place for a global variable? Other ideas? TIA. --Susan Susan B.
