Thank you for the replies. Worked great, saved a bundle of time
and a enforced some good practices.

Having mentioned "good practices", consider, that if that question of "Who called?" is asked, then perhaps there is a problem with the code. Code [with few exceptions] should make decisions based only upon the inputs provided from the caller, not based upon who\what had invoked the code.
