Hi Rocky

No, that is not possible - and it was a major drawback in Access 1.x which
didn't have code-behind-form modules.

What you are asking for is WithEvents. Shamil and JC have posted repeatedly
on this subject and I believe an article is on the dba site.

Ok, this is Access 101 but I must be having a mental moment.

If I use a function instead of an event procedure for BeforeUpdate, can that
function return a value that cancels the update?

I have a form with 120 fields on it (lots of tabs).  I don't want 120 event
procedures for each BeforeUpdate and I don't want 120 event procedures for
AfterUpdate.  I would like to select all 120 fields and set the BeforeUpdate
property to something like =BeforeUpdate().  This works great for
AfterUpdate, however, when I set it for the BeforeUpdate property, returning
a value from this function doesn't cancel the edit.

Is this possible?
