application.caller doesn't provide the information you describe or what was
suggested by PeterS to the best of my knowledge.

As I suggested, look at Application.UserControl

I tried

Select Case TypeName(Application.Caller)
Case "Range"
V = Application.Caller.Address
Case "String"
V = Application.Caller
Case "Error"
V = "Error"
Case Else
V = "unknown"
End Select

MsgBox "caller = " & V

And I get Error irrespective of whether it is called by Access or by me
double clicking on the icon. I also tried to trap the error to get an
error number to use for differentiation, but no luck, it does not give
an error, it just opens.

Any other ideas??
