[AccessD] Accessing AfterUpdate Event from another procedure

I too am unsure what your trying to do but you would need to use a call statement....I know you can call events in the same form your working in, but as for another form I don't know if it would work....you could always try
      CALL Forms![frmControl].cboNav_AfterUpdate
As I say I don't know if it would work, but surely there could be a better solution..

It isn't clear to me what you're trying to accomplish with this.
Perhaps you could explain it in overview, not the specifics but what you
hope to achieve as a result. I still think trying to call the
afterupdate event of a combobox on another form is going the long away
around to get nowhere.

Hmmmm...
I always seem to get stuck when attempting to access and run code in an
afterupdate event when trying to call and execute the event from another
procedure in another module than the Form module the afterupdate event
code resides in....

So what are the clear cuts on this.... please

See the code snippet below

Regards
Borge

/Code snippet:

If FIsLoaded("frmSystem") Then
If FIsLoaded("frmControl") Then
Dim strSecName As String
Dim boolModuleNamePresent As Boolean

strSecName = Forms("frmSystem")("SecName")
boolModuleNamePresent = DLookup("Screen1", "tblSystem",
"SecName = '" & strSecName & "'")

If boolModuleNamePresent Then

Dim frm As Form
Dim ctrl As ComboBox
Set frm = Forms!frmControl
Set ctrl = frm!cboNav

ctrl.Value = "Clients"

'just for testing - tests ok!
Dim vValue0
Dim vValue1
Dim vValue2
Dim vValue3
Dim vValue4

vValue0 = ctrl
vValue1 = ctrl.Column(1)
vValue2 = ctrl.Column(2)
vValue3 = ctrl.Column(3)
vValue4 = ctrl.Column(4)
'end just for testing

'HERE: how do I call the AfterUpdate event of cboNav
in the open form called frmControl ??

' cboNav_AfterUpdate to execute here

Set frm = Nothing
Set ctrl = Nothing


Else
MyMsgBox "You do not have access to the Clients
Module" & vbCrLf & "Please see the System Administrator about this!",
vbInformation
End If
Else
MyMsgBox "This Form requires frmControl to be loaded!",
vbCritical
End If
Else
MyMsgBox "This Form requires frmSystem to be loaded!",
vbCritical
End If
