I've never used it that way... perhaps it can be, if you have
defined Properties and/or Methods for the custom class to which
you wish to refer.

Yes, Me refers to the current class module, which can be a form
module, a report module or a standalone class module. I would never
refer to properties or methods of a form/report without the Me
identifier, so I use the same practice in standalone class modules,
using the Me object whenever I want to use one of the methods or
properties of a class module within itself. It seems obvious to me
that this is the most consistent way to code, and that there's a
reason why it works exactly the same in all three contexts.
