Passing form name to a function

[doramsey]

Using VB 6, I'm trying to pass the name of a form from the form to a function outside the form and then reference the form in the function. Need help.

Two suggestions:

1) Use GetObject()

2) Don't pass just the form's name, pass the form itself.

I would second Chip here - pass a reference to the form itself...

Function fnName (frm as Form)
frm.Caption="Function Worked!"
End Function

....
....
fnName Form1

-----------------------------------------------------------
If you are so adament you should pass the form Name itself then, modify it like this.

Function fnName (frmName as String)
Dim frm as Form
Dim frmTmp as Form

For each frmTmp in Forms
If frmTmp.Name=frmname then
set frm=frmTmp
GoTo exitLoop
end if
Next

exitLoop:
frm.Caption="Function Worked!"
End Function

....
....
fnName Form1.Name
