I've used this technique quite a bit. What I typically do is create a
procedure in the typical way, so that I obtain its parameters -- Cancel as
int, etc. Then I take the code from the procedure and turn it into a
function. The function uses the same parameter list. Once that is done, I
can call the function as your friend shows below.

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?
