Which instance of a form started action

[Peter Kinross]

There are 2 instances of subformA. The same button on each makes an instance of subformB visible (there are 2 instances of subformB).
Problem; how can I tell which instance of subformA’s button was pressed.
‘CodeContextObject.Name’ only gives the name of the subform, not the name of the subform control holding the subform.

To make reference easy (for me), here are the actual names of the subforms and their holding controls.
sub Form....................................................................Control name
frmSoARecomendedProducts....(instance1).................sfrmRecomendedProductsForMain
frmSoARecomendedProducts....(instance2).................sfrmRecomendedProductsForLinked.

I think I would look at using the tag of the subform control to store who did what. I assume you are hiding and making visible the subform control, not the actually subform.

Thanks Wendall.
But how do I tell which of the 2 subform holding controls was used? In other words in the 'On click' event of the button on the form, how does one determine what the tag of the control holding the subform is?

So the button is on the subform?

If both the subform controls had the same name, but different tags you could use

Dim strTag as string
strTag = me.parent.sfrmRecomendedProductsForMain.tag

Then pass strTag to the form that was opened using OpenArgs.

The subform on which the user clicks the button is the active control on the main form, so to get the control name of the subform on which the button was clicked, you can use

Me.Parent.ActiveControl.Name

John, thanks for that, but I don't know which of the 2 subforms is doing the calling.
Hans - you hit the nail on the head. That works a treat. thanks.
