Me keyword

The Me keyword behaves like an implicitly declared variable. It's automatically available to every procedure in a class module.

When a class can have more than one instance, Me provides a way to refer to the specific instance of the class where the code is executing. Using Me is particularly useful for passing information about the currently executing instance of a class to a procedure in another module.

For example, suppose you have the following procedure in a module:

Sub ChangeFormColor(FormName As Form) 
 FormName.BackColor = RGB(Rnd * 256, Rnd * 256, Rnd * 256) 
End Sub

You can call this procedure and pass the current instance of the Form class as an argument using the following statement:

ChangeFormColor Me
