FormName Problem

[Jengo]

In the code of a form you can use the following code to retrieve the form name.

temp = Me.FormName

Well, I have this function (seen below), and I can't retrieve the form name, and I was wondering why this is not working?

Public Sub Close_Form(frm As Form)

DoCmd.Close acForm, frm.FormName

End Sub

**Please remember that this is not the real entire function, I just took this line out.

Thanx in advance for any help that can be given.

Try sending just a variable with the form name. and putting a message box at the top to see what is being sent

Public Sub Close_Form(name As String)
msgbox "form Sent = " &
DoCmd.Close acForm, name

End Sub

IF you have other stuff inside of this sub that you are doing write a separate sub and make a call to it.

I know you can do it that way, but I wanted to make it more effective, by only having to call the:

frm as form

instead of having to call that and a string with the form name in it.

I though the form name was the same as the form caption.
Can you not just use me.caption to retrieve the name of the form?
