VBA - sub routines Help please
 

Greetings from Norfolk
I am trying to create a 'accounts' routine that allows the user to select
first (A) what they want to do (enter sales, monthly account etc.) then (B)
to select the month that they wish to work on.
I used buttons to select the first (A), then the macro that runs from the
button (common to all three butons) to display the list box (B) to select
the month.
The problem is that I cannot find a way to save the information on which
button has been operated to start the process. The macro that runs from the
button (A) does not connect with the macro that runs FROM the pull down
list - they appear as two distinct routines.

You seem to be using a button from the "Forms" toolbar.
If so,
application.caller
should give you the button's name...

What I would normally do in a situation like yours, is to have three
individual master macros for each of my major choices, A, B or whatever, and
have them do and control the things that are unique to that selection, and
to call up any universal macros if and when needed as a step in the
procedure..........but the master
selection macro would be in control until the exercize was completed.
