How does one return the literal/name of an intrinsic constant instead of its
byte value?

For example, CurrentProject.AllForms(1).Type returns "2", which means
nothing to me.

You can't, unless you have a lookup table (or Select Case logic) that is
appropriate to the property wherein the constant is stored. A value of
2 could mean lots of different things, depending on what property has
that value.

In this particular case, the .Type property of the AccessObject class is
defined to be a member of the acObjectTupe enumerated type. You can
look that up in the Object Browser and see what all the members of that
enum and what their values are.
