passing user input to existing form

I'm trying to navigate my way through a black box.

I have an application, about which I know nothing, but which has VBA (6.3) as an add-on. So I can add functionality using VBA. Too bad I only know Perl!

I would like to prompt the user for information, and then pass that information to a particular form.

I have no problem prompting the user and getting the response.

The form already exists in the application. But I don't know the "VB specific" name (class, object, etc) of the form, nor the text field into which the user input should go. I can prompt just fine, so that's a start.

What I *think* I need to do is first discover the name of the form, so I can open it and pass the user input to it. Is there a way to list the currently-open forms, which I could run once to capture the form name? Or is there another way to do this?

Sorry if this is a newbie question. With VB, I am!
Leon
