Is there an equivalent of this pointer in VBA so that I can pass it to another module?

The C++ equivalent is this ; that is, the keyword is the same.
The this pointer is a pointer accessible only within the nonstatic member functions of a class , struct , or union type. It points to the object for which the member function is called. Static member functions don't have a this pointer.
Java doesn't have pointers; Java has references.
The 'this' pointer is passed as a hidden argument to all nonstatic member function calls and is available as a local variable within the body of all nonstatic functions. 'this' pointer is not available in static member functions as static member functions can be called without any object (with class name).
Pointers: A pointer is a variable that holds the memory address of another variable. A pointer needs to be dereferenced with the * operator to access the memory location it points to. References: A reference variable is an alias, that is, another name for an already existing variable.
Explanation: The pointer which denotes the object calling the member function is known as this pointer. The this pointer is usually used when there are members in the function with same name as those of the class members.
Not for a module, no. A module doesn't have an instance, so there is no instance variable to pass. All the methods are static. If you are within a class instance, however, you can use Me.
