Thanks Jack. In that thread, there was a link to a download of a Seat Reservation Demo that had a generic function MakeFunctionCall() that showed a more functional way of building an event procedure call to assign to say OnClick or OnMouseMove events. That's better than my direct coding (similar to what Stuart was referencing in his response to me) and allows for a clean way to build a parameter list. Appreciate it.

I found this link after some searching. Good luck. jack On Wed, Feb 6, 2013 at 1:55 PM, John Bodin <jbodin at sbor.com> wrote: > Hello, > > > > New to this list and need some guidance on a form I've developed (I posted > this on LinkedIn and got a few links with good information, but still > having > issues). > > > > I have a grid of many text boxes on a form in an Access 2003 app that I > fill > from a table upon opening the form as well as when the user changes a date > box.
