I'm working with some source code where formA loads formB, the formB accesses and modifies a recordset belonging to formA. I've been asked to modify the source in such a way that formB can be loaded from any of forms A, C, D, E or F (all of which are incidences of formAlfa) and refer to whichever form it was loaded from.

I could do it by making a completely different form like formB, for each of these calls, but that seems a bit ass.

Any ideas how I can say 'formthatcalledme.data1.recordset', rather than formA.data1.recordset, formB.data1.recordset, etc? Or is there any other way to work round this?
