What does the Me keyword mean?
“Me” refers to the Access form currently in focus.
Instead of writing out the entire form reference, you can just use the keyword “Me” which is easier.
Like:
Me.txtbox = “I am a textbox on the form that currently has the focus.”
or you can update a label’s caption on a form:
Here is the code:
Private Sub btnLoop_Click()
Dim intCtr As Integer
For intCtr = 1 To 100
Me.lblText.Caption = "Loop count = " & intCtr
'show the current count on the form
DoEvents
Next
End Sub
