Trying to imitate gets & puts in VBA

I have a number of forms that get data from tables or add data to tables. Each form needs its own subroutine to do that.

The column names and the corresponding form fields all use the same name. I pass the form name and the table row to the Get or Place sub.

Now when I change my table I have only one place to update the code.

This works but I have a clunky way of finding the user form name.

I can pass the form name to the sub. Is there a better way to do this.

Not every form uses every table column, so I just skip it if I do not need it.


VBA Code:
Public Sub PutCustomer(fName As String, intRow As Integer)
    Dim Obj As Object
    For Each Obj In VBA.UserForms
        If StrComp(Obj.Name, fName, vbTextCompare) = 0 Then
            GoTo SetCustomer
        End If
    Next Obj
    Exit Sub
    
SetCustomer:
    On Error Resume Next
    With lob_tblCustomer
        .ListColumns("CustNum").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Val(Obj.CustNum)
        .ListColumns("CustStatus").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustStatus
        .ListColumns("CustName").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustName
        .ListColumns("CustSpouse").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustSpouse
        .ListColumns("CustAdd1").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAdd1
        .ListColumns("CustAdd2").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAdd2
        .ListColumns("CustApt").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustApt
        .ListColumns("CustCity").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustCity
        .ListColumns("CustState").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustState
        .ListColumns("CustZIP").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustZIP
        .ListColumns("CustPrimePh").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustPrimePh
        .ListColumns("CustAltPh").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAltPh
        .ListColumns("CustEmail").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustEmail
        .ListColumns("CustLookUp").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustPrimePh
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Why not do something like this (untested):

VBA Code:
Public Sub PutCustomer(Obj as Object, intRow As Integer)
    On Error Resume Next
    With lob_tblCustomer
        .ListColumns("CustNum").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Val(Obj.CustNum)
        .ListColumns("CustStatus").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustStatus
        .ListColumns("CustName").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustName
        .ListColumns("CustSpouse").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustSpouse
        .ListColumns("CustAdd1").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAdd1
        .ListColumns("CustAdd2").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAdd2
        .ListColumns("CustApt").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustApt
        .ListColumns("CustCity").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustCity
        .ListColumns("CustState").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustState
        .ListColumns("CustZIP").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustZIP
        .ListColumns("CustPrimePh").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustPrimePh
        .ListColumns("CustAltPh").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustAltPh
        .ListColumns("CustEmail").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustEmail
        .ListColumns("CustLookUp").DataBodyRange(intRow) = Obj.CustPrimePh
    End With
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
In the calling form you would have something like this:
VBA Code:
Private Sub cmbSave_Click()
    PutCustomer Me, cInt(Me.CustNum.Value)
End Sub

Thanks Jan, that worked great and is much cleaner. The only minor change I made in the table row is a variable not a formfield.
