Find Parent form name from called form

**DrRob** · 01-07-2016, 10:59 PM

Everything goes wrong sometime with MSAccess. I need to find the name of a forms parent. I open the form from a button command and I want to know the name of the form that the calling button is on.
I have tried "frmName = Me.Parent.Name" but that doesn't work, yet most places seem to offer that as an answer. Can you please help., i am dying of frustration

A form opened as standalone by code from another form has no parent, only subforms have parent. You will have to save the calling form name somewhere so that it can later be retrieved. Use a global variable or pass the name to called form with OpenArgs.

Thank you for this.... I shall do as you say and set a global variable :-)
