[AccessD] Cross post - looking for way to reassociate controls with events

[Bill Benson]

>From the other list (Gustav):

Hi Bill

That was in March:

f you on a form decide to move some controls into a tab control, you
normally do a cut and paste of these controls - from the form into a page
of the tab control.

Then all the events of the controls get cleared; the [Event Procedure]
markings are gone and the code behind is detached though still present.

To restore these settings, open the code module of the form:

1. Mark all code with Ctrl+A
2. Cut it away with Ctrl-X
3. Select menu Debug, Compile
4. Paste all the code back into the empty module with Ctrl-V
5. Select Debug, Compile

Now your event procedures are hooked up again.

I knew of this little trick but had forgotten the details and found it here
after much searching:

Another (John Colby and Rocky Smolin):

Paste the even[t] code (back) in after moving the controls.
