Form_Current on First Record when Form Opened

[sathandle]

In the Access 2000 Developer's Handbook (Getz, Litwin, Gilbert) it states the following (pg. 26): "When you open a form, the following events occur: Open --> Load --> Resize --> Activate --> GotFocus --> Current --> 1st control (in tab order) Enter -->..."

Does the Form_Current event fire when a form is opened? I thought the Form_Current event only first when you move to another record.

Please advise. I have never found any information by Getz, Litwin, Gilbert to be incorrect, but maybe I am missing something. Please let me know if the Form_Current event does run when a Form is first opened.

Thanks,
SATHandle

Hi sathandle,

Yes, On Current Event does "Fire" when you Open or Load a Form. Try putting a MsgBox Statement in it to prove it.

Thanks!

Now, why didn't I think of that? Maybe I've been working on this project for too long???
