All you need to do is declare a form variable at the module level WithEvents, like this Dim WithEvents myForm as Form That will give you a myForm object in the list of objects in your form and if you select myForm from the dropdown list, you'll be able to create shell routines to handle any of the exposed events of a Form. So you can have a myForm_Load event, for example, which would contain code you want to run when myForm is loaded.

Could you post a short example code of how you would set up the main form's monitoring of the subform's events? I sure would like to manage a subform's load and open events. Thanks!

Doing that allows you to see the subforms events from up in the main form and select them. When you select one of the events, VBA creates an event handler up in the main form. Click events and enter/exit events usually do not have a problem but you should remember that subforms load before the main form's class module so events like OnOpen and such cannot reference code up in the main form until the main form's class has finished loading.

But how can a 'click' on a field within a subform be monitored and can subsequently produce a result on the main form?
