Referencing Forms

I have a main form with a subform. On the main form is a command button that
opens a pop-up form with unbound fields. I use these fields as Search fields
to build a SQL and apply it as the recordsource of the subform The following
codes works well and fast. I want to use the pop-up form on several other
main forms that contain the same subform as the first. How do I reference
the form that is active when the pop-up form was called so I don't have to
create several pop-up forms only to change the main form reference in the
code?

Private Sub cmdAFilter_Click()
Dim strSQL As String
strSQL = "Select * from qryProduct where ProductID > 0 "
If Not IsNull(Me.txtOE) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [NumberID] like '*" & Me.txtOE & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtIMC) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [JNumberID] like '*" & Me.txtIMC & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtDesc) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [SDescription] like '*" & Me.txtDesc & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtBrand) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [Brand] like '*" & Me.txtBrand & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtRegion) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND tblType.[Make] like '*" & Me.txtRegion & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMfg) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [Mfg] like '*" & Me.txtMfg & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtNotes) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [Notes] like '*" & Me.txtNotes & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtClass) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND
Code: 
 like '*" & Me.txtClass & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtMover) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [CO] like '*" & Me.txtMover & "*'"
End If
If Not IsNull(Me.txtGroup) Then
strSQL = strSQL & " AND [PrdGroup] like '*" & Me.txtGroup & "*'"
End If
Forms!frmProduct!fsubNumbers.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
Forms!frmProduct!fsubNumbers.SetFocus

End Sub

I have other forms named
frmProductSync
frmOrderEntry
frmAlternates

Replace Forms!frmProduct with Screen.ActiveForm in both the line that
assigns the SQL and the line that sets focus. Better still:

With Screen.ActiveForm
!fsubNumbers.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
!fsubNumbers.SetFocus
End With

The subform controls on each main form must be named fsubNumbers for this to
work.

My mistake. That would not work.

Pass the name of the calling form to your dialog form via the OpenArgs
parameter of the OpenForm command, then use it like this:

With Forms(Me.OpenArgs)!fsubNumbers
.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
.SetFocus
End With
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name

I tried both methods: replace Forms!frmProduct with Screen.ActiveForm and
With Screen.ActiveForm
!fsubNumbers.Form.RecordSource = strSQL
DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name
!fsubNumbers.SetFocus
Click to expand...

Both instances gave me an error message that fsubNumbers can not be found.
Any ideas? I did this in the existing code and will apply to other forms
once corrected. fsubNumbers is the subform name on other forms.
