>when clicking on a control when modifying a form, the procedure box displays the 'events' choices. How come the default one is rarely the one I was last using. It comes up 'additem' or 'interactivechange' but never the one I use most which is 'click'

One thing that can influence what comes up as the default when double clicking on a control (or selecting "code" from the view pulldown or context menu) is subclassing. For example, if you have subclassed a command button but have not changed any of the default method code the default will be "Click". However if you had code for the "RightClick" event but not the "Click" event then "RightClick" would be the default. One workaround for this would be to place a comment in the method code of the "Click" event of your command button class.

Hope this helps..............Murray
