  Thank you for your suggestion. I think I need to explain a  bit further. I
have a form "frmSelect" that utilizes a special class "DblListbox". Since
the two are almost always associated I have have code in the "init" method
to default to frmSelect as follows:

  If fm Is Nothing Then Set Me.Callingform = Forms!frmselect

  where the callingform property passes the form object (I have not included
the error checking code):
  Public Property Set Callingform(frm As Form)
          Set fm = frm
  end property

  In the open property of frmselect I have:
  Set lb = New DblListbox
  Set lb.Callingform = Me
  lb.Init strRecordname

  All this works fine. However it occurs to me that if dbllistbox were smart
enough to determine which form called it I could eliminate the callingform
property. That is why I was wondering if there exists some way to determine
and pass automatically to the dbllistbox class the form object which called
it. Thanks,

  Jim Hale

  One way is to pass it using the docmd.openform's OpenArgs parameter.

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