Get Form Name in vba module

This is one way to get a form name to a generic function...

Declare a function or sub like this:

Sub MyFunction(strFormName as string)
     ' use the form
      msgbox Forms(strFormName).Name
End SUb

Select allOpen in new window

Call  it like this from a command button (for example) on some form:

MyFunction Me.Name

Select allOpen in new window

Controls can be passed and referred to as well... but might  need more detail for more targeted help.

You can start with this:

Dim frm As Form
Dim sName as String
Set frm = Form_YourFormNameHere

sName = frm.Name

You can also do this. Note that the first example above actually opens a hidden instance of the form, which may not be what you want. This example does not do that.

Dim frm As Form
Dim sName as String
Set frm = Forms!YourFormNameHere

sName = frm.Name

I would pass the from object to your function

Example:

Public Function MyFunction(pfrm as Form)
     ' use the pfrm.  like you would use Me.
    
      ' to get the form name use
       MsgBox pfrm.Name

       ' set the Text in a unbound control on the form named txtMessage 
         pfrm.txtMessage =  "My Message Text"

End Function 

Select allOpen in new window

In the form call it like this:

MyFunction Me

Select allOpen in new window

I like you approach where the form isn't opened in a hidden mode. But now how would I go about pulling a control from a specific record as well?

define 'Pulling' ...
Also ... you might look at mzipup's approach, wherein you 'pass' the info to a Function ...

Wrong choice of words. I mean pass the values to the function for the current record that is open on the form. I need to pass the recordID and a couple of other controls into my function.

(mzipup's  - unintentional typo)

then mbizup's approach is what you need ...

I'm confused about mzipup's function and the msgbox. How does that pass the value from the control and the form's name to my function? That's where I'm getting lost.

The message box is just an example of a command that uses the form name as passed to the function.

Trying to clarify, and adding a control as a parameter to pass to the sub:

'the sub declaration uses the form name as a pass parameter.  The actual form name is specified when calling the sub from wherever needed.  Adding a control here too
Sub  MySub (strForm as string, strControl as string)   
 
          '  The following shows how to use a string variable to refer to a form (just placing a value on the passed form name and control name)
           Forms(strForm).Controls(strControl) = "This is a test"

End Sub   

Select allOpen in new window

You would call the sub from any form like this:

MySub Me.Name, "txtMyTextboxName"

Select allOpen in new window

I think I understand now. One final step...how do I pass the value of the control and not just the control name of the current record on my form?
