[AccessD] Calling an AfterUpdate evnte proc. of a combo

Hi John,

yes, I know you're a class and withevents guru!
I'll try this way, but if I remenber well your explanations of the
withevents statement, I recall
it allows a class to SINK the event of a control, but can it CALL an event
of tis control, not sure!

Thank's for your help,

Philippe
