[AccessD] using ADO to populate combos - was RE:Error3048Cannotopen any more databases

Hi John

I think you are right.
What I have done is to make the callback function private and copy it into the module of the form - I've never had more than a couple of these for one form. But I realize that this doesn't play well with your framework.

Have you ever done this?  Inside of the call back function was a static
array where the data for that specific control was placed.  Thus each
callback was specific to the control passed in.  I tried doing this and
failed.

Do you have code demonstrating what you are thinking about?

That's not necessary, to write a function for each control.  One of the
arguments of that control is the control itself.

So you could create one function, in a module, that would be your 'global'
callback function.  What I would recommend would be to create a class that
would handle recordset objects, and in your callback function pull the
appropriate recordset from that class based on the control argument that is
passed to the callback function.

Long ago I tried using call back functions and the only way I could figure
out to do it was write a callback for each object.  That just doesn't work
when you want to implement this easily and automatically system wide - five
hundred different combos.
