Yes, that is correct.

While the Object name of the subform might be SFRM_Mine, the name I've
given it when I added it to the main form is what I'm after, e.g.
SFRM_Mine_Inst1, SFRM_Mine_Inst2, SFRM_Mine_Inst3, etc.

Thanks,

Well there's no such property of a form as 'instance name'. The only way
(AFAIK) to identify the instance is via the subform control's name. These
are enforced by Access to be unique of course. The code I gave, ie:

Me.Parent.Name

if run in your subform's class module, will give you the name of the subform
control that is currently 'active', which is hosting your form. There's your
instance name. You can then refer to it from say a module, like this:

Forms!MyMainFormName!SubformControlName

(add .Form to refer to the subform itself)
