  How can I get the name of the module running. When you have a form its easy, you just code me.name.

  There is no way to get the name of a module as far as I know.  I've created an add-in that adds the name, as:
  

  
  

  Code:

  Private Const THIS_MODULE                   As String = "BMain"

  
  

  
  to the tops of all of my modules, forms, classes, user controls.  It also adds:
  

  
  

  Code:

  Const THIS_CONTEXT                          As String = "Main"

  
  

  
  to the beginning of each function, sub, property, etc.  This information together with the undocumented "Erl" property, which indicates the current line number when an error occurs, combine to create a pretty effective Error logging system in my apps. . . .  
  

  
  I had wanted to add an URL showing the basis for my error handling strategy.  MSDN used to have a pretty good technical article.  Alas, with .NET out M$ seems to be purging out a lot of good information on how to use their, now legacy, older versions of VB :-(

  I do not know of any way to do that.  Some of these masters might.  That would be a cool thing to know.
