[AccessD] How do I tell if a form is opened as a subform or not?

Thanks Drew!

Must have been having on of Colby's senior moments, I've used the same
construct 2^n times and it never occurred to me this time.

Thanks again
Bruce

This is from my new MiniCalendar database....still in development...but
the function works fine.

Private Function AmIASubForm() As Boolean
On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
Dim varTemp
varTemp = Me.Parent
AmIASubForm = True
Exit Function
ErrorHandler:
Err.Clear
AmIASubForm = False
End Function

Hi List,

I am trying to use a form that may appear as a subform or on its own. If
it's a subform then I want to maximise it in its parent control space,
if not then it should be sized to fit the form. But how do I tell where
it is being opened?  The following doesn't work:

    On Error Resume Next
    If Not IsNull(Me.Parent.Name) Then
        boolIsSubform = True
        DoCmd.Maximize
    Else
        boolIsSubform = False
    End If
    On Error GoTo 0

Ignore the fact that the docmd works on the parent, I am not worried
about that at the moment, only that I don't know how to test the
"subformedness".

Tia
Bruce
