[AccessD] Force a dblclick event on a form control

Thanx to everybody for replying. I'm just responding to the most recent
post.
I have an Attachment control on a form. The control is named
Asset_Attachment. I want the built-in Attachment dialog box to spring open
as soon as I open the form. The only way I know to make that dialog appear
is by dbl-clicking Asset_Attachment. I tried inserting
Asset_Attachment_DblClick (-1) in the Form_Open event but I got a "Sub or
function not defined" compile error.
Is there a way to send those mouse-clicks to the control?
Thx,
Darrell

I don't think you can directly make an event stub public.  You would have to
build a public sub 
which called the event stub.
