Previous active form

[Michalis J.]

I have a "customer finder form" which returns a value to the form from where
it was opened. Is there a way to get the name of the form loaded before the
customer finder form?
Thanks in advance
Michalis

I think that the only solution is to pass this name from the previous form.
You can use a global variable or the openargs of the openform method.

Yes, public variable, but better to use every form's Activate event to set
it to form name

Thanks a lot for your response gentlemen. I have tried OpenArgs together
with an unbound textbox on the "customer finder form" which takes the name of
the form from which the finder form was called. This worked fine. I will
also try Alex's suggestion.
