Why not make it a Public Function in a Module if there is a chance the code can be re-used more than once. It would cut down on maintenance... Steve Medvid

You cannot call a private function from another form (out of scope). You must make the function Public (to be seen by the entire db), even if it is an event. For instance, if you want a button named cmdVerify to be called from another form, first change it to public,

Public Sub cmdVerify_Click()

Then from the other form, the syntax would be:

Forms!FormName.cmdVerify_Click

Or you could call the other form's Open event by first changing it to public and then using:

Forms!FormName.Form_Open(0)

Just remember that some events have arguments, like the cancel argument on the OnOpen event, so you have to pass the argument to the event.

We all agree your theory is crazy, but is it crazy enough?
