You pass a reference to the control to the form when you open it.

In the UC:
Sub ShowForm()
Set ThisForm = New Form1
ThisForm.Load Me
End Sub

In the Form:
Dim ParentUC As UserControlType

Public Sub Load(ByVal Parent As UserControlType)
Set ParentUC = Parent
End Sub

Be very careful if you also want to keep a reference to the form in the
user control as this can cause circular references which causes no end
of problems.
