Get the name of a function that calls another function

Jonathan Hollan #1 / 3	Get the name of a function that calls another function Hi, I have some code to write to a text file everytime a function is called. I would like also to write the name of the calling function. Is there any way for a function to find out the name of the function that is calling it ( and the component that the calling function is in)? Thanks, Jonathan

Something like this: Sub WriteToTextfile(TextToWrite As String, FunctionCallingMe As String) ... End Sub Sub Foo() WriteToTextfile "Hello World", "Foo" End Sub Mattias ________________________________________________ Mattias "BeeZo" Sj?gren http://home1.2.sbbs.se/mattias.sjogren/sw/

Jeff Ashle #3 / 3	Get the name of a function that calls another function No. This information is discarded during compile; if you want to save it, then you must do it yourself. (If you need to do so, for crissake write an add-in to generate the code - I couldn't sleep if I thought there was someone out there hand-typing, e.g., 'MyNameIs = CommmandExit_MouseDown' for every function of an app <g>) (If somebody is doing this, _please_ don't tell me!)
