ABOUT THIS EPISODE
When an Access form is already open, filtered, and positioned on the record you need, switching views just to reach its VBA code can be an annoying interruption. This episode covers a small developer customization that adds a Quick Access Toolbar button for opening the code module behind the form currently in use.
Using Screen.ActiveForm, a public VBA function can identify the active form and open its corresponding Form_ module. A simple RunCode macro provides the bridge needed to place that function on the Quick Access Toolbar.
It is a modest productivity improvement, but it saves repeated clicks, avoids unnecessary Design View detours, and helps preserve your place while developing and debugging Microsoft Access forms.
