Updating a parent form from a child without using parent nam 1

[nightsurfer1]

Hi, What I'm trying to do is create an report entry screen for a report that lets the person enter a beginning and ending values in order to constrain the report. If the user clicks a button I open a lookup form with a drop down list. The user will click a record and the click event for the lookup has code that updates the report entry screen. This all works fine but I find myself having to hardcode the name of the report entry screen form
(entryscreenformname.sometextbox.text = value from lookup list). I would like to only create this lookup form once but be able to use it for several report entry screens. I need to find a way to update the parent or calling form of the lookup list without hardcoding the name of the report entry form. I'd like to do something like (parent.sometextbox.text = value from lookup list)

Thanks nightsurfer1

Create your own procedure with parmameters to hold the form and textbox you need to update.

IE:

Private Sub (TargetForm as Form, TargetText as TextBox)

Then instead of hardcoding the names you can use TargetForm or TargetText to set the values.
