Do form xx with this - is that the best way ??

Paul,
You can do it that way but you need to pass THISFORM, not THIS from the
commandbutton. If you use THIS, you will get an object reference to the
button.

Another way to do it is to get a reference to _Screen.ActiveForm in the
modal form's Init or Load. This property holds a reference to the calling
form. The value doesn't change to the modal form itself until the modal
form's Activate event fires.

Regards.
