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

I usually cheat if I need to do this, with something like the following :

create a public variable i.e. pubCallingForm

then put the name of the calling form in that variable and in the OnLoad event check which form name is in pubCallingForm......

i.e. formA OnLoad Event

if ( pubCallingForm = "formB" ) then

elseif ( pubCallingForm = "formC" ) then

endif

Hope this helps..........

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.
