No my problem is my english :-). 

I have used WithEvents before in Word and Excel to get to "extra" 
Application level Events that MS "forgot" to give us access to by 
default. I just can't seem to wrap my brain around it in Access.

Fair enough. I can write the Word Application level WithEvents 
Code almost with my eyes closed now. Ever since I learned about 
this, it has become second nature to use this to get at those events.

I understand why. I think my block is that I don't have a concrete 
reason to do it and really try to figure it out. I don't have any Access 
projects on the go at the moment.
