active form name & active control name

[Guest]

Hi,

I've a hidden form that opens when the database opens,i have 2 unbound
controls on this form,i need to:
* display the active form name in the first unbound controls .
* display the active control name in the first unbound controls .

Is it possible?

You can place the values there from each form and each control. You
could write a function for just the controls that would pass the Form
name and the Control name for *each* control in your application:
x=TraceMe(Me.Name, Me!ThisControl.Name). That will be a lot of code.
If you're just starting this application you might be able to kluge up
something workable with MZTools. Note that if you're trying to do
this for error tracing purposes you can already use MZTools to do this
to good effect.

You will only be able to *display* what's in those unbound controls on
a hidden form via a visible object.

If you explain what you're trying to achieve in the real-world then we
might be able to better help you.
