[AccessD] Recordsource running before Open Event

I personaly never use openargs...(anymore)
I believe they are from an old generation Access and they have a
shortcoming on the length... (2000 something or is it 256 something.)

Two ways to solve this...

Use a class property in your form.

Or set a form.control from where you call the code and then run a public
declared function in your form.

The class has my preference.
I found myself dabble around with these openargs, etc until I discovered
classes in and out forms.
I felt in love with classess, but they do tend to generate more work in
the beginning.

Onderwerp: [AccessD] Recordsource running before Open Event


Groups,

I have the following code in the Open event of a form -

     If Me.OpenArgs <> "All" Then
         Me.InputParameters = Me.OpenArgs        <-  Form_Current event 
triggers here
         Me.RecordSource = "spfrmGeneralJournal"
     Else
         Me.RecordSource = "spfrmGeneralJournal"
     End If

The problem is that the "Me.InputParameters = Me.OpenArgs" triggers the 
Form's Current event.  This is a problem because in there it checks for
the 
value of a field and because the Recordsource hasn't been defined yet it

generates an error.  The reason that the record source is not defined
until 
in the Open Event is because the front end is linked to an SQL B/E and
the 
table that is the source has over 55,000 records which is taking over 5 
seconds to open.  This is opened, then the Open event is fired to
produce 
the reduced record set (in effect the sproc is being run twice).

Does anyone have a method for opening the form without the Current event

being triggered before the  open event is completed? (Or preventing the 
sproc being run before the Open event is processed)?
