So, in this scenario, you can add a custom property to the called form called oCalledBy use code in the called form's load like this to save a reference to the calling form:

Hi Marcia,

What I'm doing with the form references is when you click on "save" I want a box to come up asking if the user would like to append a new record. Is there already a similar class to perform this function?

Also, I'm sure a better way would be to have the save method go ahead and append a new blank record on each save, and when the append mode is closed - remove the last blank record. How do I cancel an append blank once its implemented?
