That's exactly what happens with my application.  It's just that now
I'd like to have a more generic way of determining which subform
control contains the current subform.  Looks like a variation of
Shamil's technique is going to be it; that is, look at all the
subforms that have the SourceObject property set and see if one of
them has the form name of the current subform.

Thanks, Charlotte.
