[AccessD] Programmaticly fill control events

Hi Marcel and Group

I was fooling around with something similar.( I got this code from Beginnig
Access 97 VBA Programming book )
Change the code below .

You should be able to save the form names to a table.
Sub testCon()
Dim db As Database
Dim ContainerTest As Container
Dim DocumentTest As Document
Set db = CurrentDb()
For Each ContainerTest In db.Containers
    Debug.Print "Container:  "; ContainerTest.Name
    For Each DocumentTest In ContainerTest.Documents
        Debug.Print "      Document:  "; DocumentTest.Name
    Next
Next
End Sub

Then you can test each control on the form after you open it with:-

( if ctlControl .ControlType = acCommandButton then ..............)

Sub testForm()
Dim frmCurrent As Form
Dim ctlControl As Control

For Each frmCurrent In Forms
    Debug.Print "Form Name: "; frmCurrent.Name
    For Each ctlControl In frmCurrent
        Debug.Print "       Contol Name:  "; ctlControl.Name
    Next
Next
End Sub

Look in HELP under "ControlType Property"  and look at the example
