On Load event not firing. (1 Viewer)

[John Sh]

I have a form with four active buttons that uses openargs to get information about the calling form.
Trouble is neither the load, open nor current events fire when the form opens resulting in "User defined type not defined" error when another button is clicked.
In the sample attached I have only put code behind the "Live Plant" button.

Your sample doesn't have much code in it and I don't see where the multi-button form has those form events. The Open and Current events were definitely not implemented. I looked at it but I don't actually run someone else's DB on my machine. You DID have an autoexec macro, but macros don't run in form context. (They run in macro context.)

Given the words of your question and the dearth of content of your offering, I don't know how to analyze it. I think we need a little more than what you posted.

Did you Debug>Compile?

Typo error in: Private sOldTable As sttring

Fix that and get a new error: "Object doesn't support this property or method."

This code is not valid: sGenus = Forms(sOldTable).btnGenus

1) I put the autoexec macro in so the correct form would open first.
2) The second, Image, form is what it is, basically a simple menu and as such requires minimal code behind each button.

3) my problem is none of the normal form events trigger so the openargs data is not passed to the form and subsequent on click events.

Thanks June7.
I turned the annoying auto error message thing off and missed the "sttring".
Debud->compile was quite happy with the "Forms" line.
All corrected and working as expected.
