how to find out parrent?

[WebStar]

Hi,
I have 3 forms calling the 4th one. How can I tell from that 4th form wich one of the first 3 called it. I mean something like me.parent.name (wich doesn't exists ofcourse). Thank you!

I'm not aware of a direct way of doing it. In the absence of such, I would declare a public variable "CurrentForm", and a local variable "ParentForm" in each of your forms, then put in the userform.activate for each form:

ParentForm=CurrentForm
CurrentForm=me.name

and put in the userform.terminate for each form:

CurrentForm=ParentForm

I haven't actually tried this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, and it's not too much trouble...
