Getting Active Subdatasheet (Access 2003)

Topic

New Reply

I’m have a main form that has multiple subdatasheets in it. I also have an ‘AutoKeys’ macro setup to run a function that updates certain fields when F9 is pressed in a certain subdatasheet . My problem is that I need to retreive the specific subdatasheet name, however when I use the screen.activeform property, I get the main form’s name. Is their a way I can get the subdatasheet name?

Thanks in advance for any help,
Drew

Try Screen.ActiveForm.ActiveControl.Name. This returns the name active subform as a control on the main form; this need not be the same as the name of the subform in the database window, but it should give you the desired information.
