[AccessD] Module Name - UPDATED

John,

The EDITOR knows (which is what VBE is) but what it is really returning is
the name of the code panel that you are currently viewing.  That is entirely
different from the module that the currently executing function is contained
within, as determined at run time.  I add a constant at the top of each
module, then reference that.  My error handler wizard can insert these into
your error handler (built by my wizard) because it is iterating through the
modules and thus knows the module it is in.  Again though, that is the
EDITOR object at DESIGN TIME. 

AFAIK obtaining either the module name or the function name at RUN TIME is
not possible.  And I have tried!!!  As have Gurus way above me - Ken Getz
for example.

Actually, I found I could get the module name by using:

Application.VBE.ActiveCodePanel.CodeModule

So there must be a way to get the function.

AFAIK, no.

You have to hard code the function and module name into the error handler.
