(Q) Is there any way to know which form opened the active form
on screen? I would like to use this feature to create generic forms.
(A) While there's no built in way for this, you can easily use the
OpenArgs part of Docmd.OpenForm method to pass form name. For example, from SomeFormA, if
you have a button which opens SomeFormB using the command
Docmd.OpenForm "SomeFormB", , , , , ,me.Name
then in SomeFormB, you can place a button which when clicked, can close the previous
form without hard-coding it's name.
Docmd.Close acForm, me.OpenArgs
