[AccessD] How to Tell Form which other form it was opened by

Susan, 

You can also give the formA a public property called something like
"CalledFrom".  Then you can use a variety of methods to populate that
property:  set it directly from the calling form, set it using the
openargs argument, etc.  I generally do that with my forms so that when
the form closes, I can simply navigate back to the the CalledFrom
object.  That approach allows you to do some fairly complex navigation
with multiple objects open in a database.

Subject: [AccessD] How to Tell Form which other form it was opened by


In my A2k application, I have code on the on_open event of FormA.  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.
