Do you have a ton of screens in your application? Do you also have plenty of users who want
to "help you" by pointing out buttons that are one twip out of place? Sometimes it's hard to know
what screen users are talking about when they're trying to communicate a problem -- particularly
if they're in a different location than you.

To reduce the pain of this process, I add a label (called lblHeader) to the top of each GUI window,
nominally to hold start-up information for users when they first open the window. You can also use
this label to hold the name of the window the user is looking at, by using the following code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
SetupScreen me
End Sub

Public SetupScreen (frm as Form)
' Do other set-up stuff here (fonts, colors).
HookInFormName frm
End Sub


Public Sub HookInFormName(frm As Form)
' The Resume Next on Error allows forms that do not use a standard header label to get past this.
On Error Resume Next
frm.lblHeader.Caption = "(" & frm.Name & ") " & frm.lblHeader.Caption
End Sub

Note that if you don't want to use a label, that you can also use code like
frm.print frm.name
to print to the back of the window itself
