Finding the forms name in visual basic

Hi,

Is there anyway of finding the forms name that is currently being used by
the user in visual basic on a real time basis. Maybe something like:

if formname = "name"
variable = name
elseif formname = "othername"
variable = othername.
end if
end if

I am using a subform in 2 different forms that have different names for
specific reasons and I need to know which form the user is working with so
that I can ensure the correct table is updated.

Can anyone help.

Thanks in advance

Mabeline.
 
If you need to determine the name of the parent form from the subform then
try something like

Me.Parent.Name
 
Hi Daniel,

Only got the chance over the weekend to run this but it doesn't seem to work.

I am fairly new to visual basic but believe I have the statement right to
check the name of the form as you suggested but it doesn't work. The
statement is :

if me.parent.name = "formname" then

Am I not wording this correctly?

Thanks for your help.

Mabeline.
