[AccessD] Calling control (WAS How do I determine which form called?)

Have you tried raising a custom event from the unbound form and sinking
the event on the form that needs to retrieve the information?

	This is interesting. I need to do something sort of similar... I
have an unbound text box on an unbound form which I want to use to
display memo fields that are too small to display all their data in the
controls on my main forms. To get the data out is easy -
screen.activecontrol will do it. But then if they amend the data I need
to get the new string back into the right control on the right form.
Trouble is it could be up to 3 layers deep on subforms and as far as I
can tell, to get the data back in I need to build a full reference to
the calling control e.g.
Forms!frmLevel1!frmLevel2.form!frmLevel3.form!ctrlCalling
	 
	Does anyone have an idea of how I could do this when I don't
know how many forms are involved???
	 
	TIA

	I make CalledFrom a property of my forms.  Then I can pass the
calling form's name in the OpenArgs string and let the called form
populate its own property.  When I close the called form, it checks its
CalledFrom property and goes back to that.  In 2002 you can do this with
Reports as well.

		Does anyone have a function that will allow a class to
determine which form called it? TIA
