[AccessD] SubForm and form

All you need to do is declare a form variable at the module level
WithEvents, like this

Dim WithEvents myForm as Form 

That will give you a myForm object in the list of objects in your form
and if you select myForm from the dropdown list, you'll be able to
create shell routines to handle any of the exposed events of a Form.
So you can have a myForm_Load event, for example, which would contain
code you want to run when myForm is loaded.

John,

Believe it or not, I initially figured that this could be done because I
do try to learn from your postings! :-)

I gave my suggestion simply because that's what I know how to do.

Could you post a short example code of how you would set up the main
form's monitoring of the subform's events?  I sure would like to manage
a subform's load and open events.

Thanks!
Dan

You can also declare a pointer to the form WithEvents and then sink any
of the form's events in the main form.  Doing that allows you to see the
subforms events from up in the main form and select them.  When you
select one of the events, VBA creates an event handler up in the main
form.

Click events and enter/exit events usually do not have a problem but you
should remember that subforms load before the main form's class module
so events like OnOpen and such cannot reference code up in the main form
until the main form's class has finished loading.

Hi All:

I just can not remember... too tied... too old. But how can a 'click' on
a field within a subform be monitored and can subsequently produce a
result on the main form?

TIA
