[AccessD] Set form's Caption without code

Andy,
Screen.ActiveForm can be really picky, and I try to avoid using it if
possible.
Can you call it instead using the following syntax:
=SetCaption([Form],"x") 

I would try placing this in the On Load event.

Subject: [AccessD] Set form's Caption without code

Ok, here's the thing. I want to make a few forms lightweight which
currently have just a line or two in modules. A few have nothing more
than a line which dynamically sets the form's caption. So I wrote a
little function like
this:

Function SetCaption(frm As Form, strCaption As String) frm.Caption =
strCaption End Function

and then changed my form's OnOpen from being an Event Procedure to :

=SetCaption([Screen].[ActiveForm],"x")

(The "x" is just for testing. The real call would have something a bit
more dynamic, like the result of a function call.)

The thing is that it errors because it can't resolve
[Screen].[ActiveForm] at that point. Ok, methinks, I'll move the call.
But I can't find where to put it. All of the following fail:

On Load
On GotFocus of the first control
On Current

The only success I've had is putting a timer interval of 5 and putting
the call in OnTimer, but I don't like that much as you can imagine. If I
force a call to it once the form's up then there's no problem (eg a
command button), but that's not a lot of use to me either. So I know the
function is fine, but has anyone got an answer as to where I might get
this to run from?
