surprising that it's so different in Excel.....

>> Kath,

>> Try:
>> In a regular form
>> [Forms]![frm_FYP_APLID].Closebutton.OnClick = "[Event Procedure]"
>>
>> In a sub form
>> [Forms]![frm_FYP_APLID].[frm_miniTL5].[Form].Closebutton.OnClick = 
>> "[Event
>> Procedure]"
>>
>> I think that should work...
