Defining With Object

[Middlemarch]

I'm attempting to pass the current record (or Me) from a Forms GotFocus event to a function in a module,

Public Function PrefixSet(xForm As ???) As Boolean
    With xForm
    ...
    End With
End Function

And get the contents of the various fields in the dropdown list inside With-End With (that opens with ".")

Initially I'm getting error With object must be user-defined type, Object, or Variant but suspect that's only the beginning of what I might have wrong.

What should I put for ???
I tried Object but noluck...

Thanks.

There no need to pass a form as a param. If you have it open, just reference it.

With forms!frmMain

end with.

but I wouldn't use the WITH structure...just the full path for each object.
forms!frmMain!txtBox= 23

Ok, thanks... but what if you had several Forms that you wanted to use in the same function ?
Is the use of With discouraged in Access ?

Addressing of forms is confusing, I've been using Form_frmMain.xxxx because then I can see the choices. Is that not Ok

use

xForm As Form

You don't pass the form, you pass the values in the form...

txtbox = PrefixSet(txtName, txtAddress)

Passing "as Form" doesn't raise an error but doesn't show the current record fields with "." dropdownlist. (What is the right name for that ?)

Ranman256, I don't get what you mean at all, sorry.
