Solved in a form or a subform

[Lampje]

Forum,

wants to ask with vba if I am in a form or a subform.
Not the name, but for example 1(form) or 2(subform)

Greeting, L

What action triggers the request?

Uncle Gizmo,

With Mouseover I want to call a module, this is a one-time to read the controls in the subform.
When I return, I read the controls of the form again.

Greeting, L

I was thinking that I have a function that may be of use to you. However my guess is it won't be much use. I reckon you need to provide more information.

The function I was thinking of is in the code at the bottom of this page. The function name is "fGetParentForm"

When you refer to a subform's controls from outside of the subform, do you know for certain what subform record's data you are seeing? Since there is one mainform record and many subform records, this type of request is always suspect.

@Lampje,

More info please. Can you give us some context for this?

read the controls in the subform/read the controls of the form

You may get some insight from this older thread List all controls on all forms

Thank you very much for your time and contribution to find a solution to this problem.
My way of thinking went too far, the solution was simpler than my thought.
Now made a Public variable with which a comparison can be made.

Greeting, L
