Not clear on just what you want?  Are you passing the form an existing class object but want the ability to pass an object of any custom (class) type?  And then show the object's property values no matter what type of object you passed in?  Or will yo know in advance what type of object to expect?

Subject: [AccessD] Populating a form with attributes of a class


Suppose I have a class that represents a person, a car, a network, whatever.
What would you suggest is the best way to present the attributes of an
instance of said class on a form? Somehow the form has to be able to see the
object. Pass its name and then derefence it inside the form_open()? It's
simple enough in debug.print because you can deal with the object as an
object and just interrogate it. 

I don't want to declare a global because there could be any number of them.
Any suggestions, you object guys?
