Hi All,

I have 3 commandbuttons that all run the same piece of code. In the code, I
want to identify in the peice of code which of the commandbuttons were
clicked to run the code. I just want to get the name, like commandbutton1 or
commandbutton2. Is this possible?
thanks

One way is to pass the name of the control to the procedure as a parameter.
The following illustrates.......

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Call MyCode(CommandButton1.Name)
End Sub

Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Call MyCode(CommandButton2.Name)
End Sub

Sub MyCode(myCB As String)
MsgBox myCB
End Sub

If you are using command buttons from the control toolbox, just use

Me.CommandButton1.Name

If it is from the Forms toolbar, use

Application.Caller
