Refer to a control as active control

[vttech]

I have a function called that GetLogInOut that needs a parameter that is a control. Is there a way that I don't have to type out the name of every control?

since I usually place this code in the event on click

=GetLogInOut([Name of Control])

something like =GetLogInOut([ME])

did me.activecontrol not work for some reason?

I get this when I try that approach

the expression on Click you entered as the envent prperty setting produced the following error: The object doesn't contain the automation object 'me.'

=GetLogInOut(me.activecontrol)

=GetLogInOut(screen.activecontrol)

I see you put this in the property, but did not write an event procedure.

I did this in my control property and it worked fine
=MsgBox([activecontrol].Name)

so maybe
=GetLogInOut([activecontrol])
