How do I use Dev Ashish's Code?

[Tony Williams]

I want to print a list of controls on a form and it seems I can use this
code from Dev Ashish but not being a VB expert I'm not sure how to. The web
site says "pass the form name to code". How do I do that? My form is called
"frmfdainput" When I do that do I paste this code inot the immediate window
and then press enter? I did try this but got an error message that said
"Compile error Invalid in Immediate pane" How do I then print a hard copy?
Here is Dev's code

[UpRider]

You pass your form name to his function:

Call fEnumControls("frmfdainput")

Put his code in a module.

You can put your call in the immediate window.
