In fact it was Charlotte who posted code wrapping a text box in answer to a problem I was having that really opened my eyes to how this works (and yes, it's pretty simple). I have simple examples if you need them (offline requests only).

In a stand alone class module, you do pretty much the same thing, bind the object to the custom class and use WithEvents to tell the application how to respond to the events that occur in that object. John's framework and Shamil's DEEP examples might be a bit hard to digest, but there are simple class examples out there that surely can help you wrap your brain around the concept. Compared to some possible class uses, WithEvents is a simple concept.

Maybe your problem is > trying to use Withevents in a module? ;-) No my problem is my english :-). I have used WithEvents before in Word and Excel to get to "extra" Application level Events that MS "forgot" to give us access to by default. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it in Access. > All that Withevents is doing is moving the event sink for some event > for some object into a custom class.

Ever since I learned about this, it has become second nature to use this to get at those events. > Why would you do this? Let me give you a concrete, real life example. I understand why. I think my block is that I don't have a concrete reason to do it and really try to figure it out. I don't have any Access projects on the go at the moment. -- Bryan Carbonnell - carbonnb at sympatico.ca Failure is not an option.
