Is there a central reference on the net that explains the pro's and con's of each of the event types. I historically have used the OnChange event until the other day when someone suggested using the AfterUpdate instead.

Would like to ensure that I have the best event trigger being used where possible in various situations

Thanks in Advance
 
When viewing the different event properties while in forms design view, place the cursor within one of the relevant events (for instance the on change event) and hit F1 - a rather good reference.

The on change event occurs per each change in the text of controls, as when you type a character. The after update event of controls occurs after the changes are "saved to the control".

I'm not aware of any reference on the net, probably because I haven't searched for it (I use F1 and reference books), but someone probably have written something on it.
