execute forms sub from immediate window - brain freeze 1

[1DMF]

Hi,

I've had a total mental block and can't even find a thread on Google to help.

I have a sub on a form I want to test, yet when using
?subname in the immediate window nothing happens, the sub doesn't run and I get no errors?

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks.

ok, brain unfroze!

form_(name of form) (sub name)

just noticed a typo in my post, don't want to confuse anyone else..

answer should be...

form_[form name][b].[/b][subname]

I missed the dot (period) in the first post!

Better yet. NEVER PUT A SPACE in a form name or other access object. I have no idea why MS even allows this. It just causes problems. Thus

form_formName.subname
form_formName.propertyname

BTW. The reason that you have to do this is because a form, report, worksheet, document modules are all Class modules just like a custom Class.

ah, so you are calling a a method by using its Class name.

FORM_[FORM NAME] is the class, then the message-send (method to call) you use a dot then method name.

Thanks MajP - now it has been explained to me, it makes perfect sense.
