Referencing form items

[Tom Coates]

I want to pass the names of a form and an object on that
form to a functioon and then construct a reference using
those parameters. I am having difficulty with the syntax
to construct the reference

function Test(FormName,ObjectName)

debug.print forms!formname.objectname.value

This does not work! Help with the format of the names
(String etc) and the way to construct the reference is
appreciated.

 

[Alex Dybenko]

try:
forms("formname")("objectname").value

 

[Randy Harris]

try:
forms("formname")("objectname").value

If these are being passed to a function, wouldn't he want those without the
quotes?

Forms(FormName)(ObjectName).Value

 

[Alex Dybenko]

if forname is a variable - then without quotes
if forname is a form name - then with quotes

It might be easier and more scaleable to pass in a reference to the form.
Then you can run wild in there<g>
function Test(fForm as Form)
debug.print fForm.objectname.value
debug.print fForm.Name
