[AccessD] How do I determine which form called?

I am passing it by setting the callingform property (Set lb.Callingform = Me
). I guess my question boils down to are there niftier ways to pass the
pointer?

You can't pass in the pointer to the calling form?

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
