Hi David,

Thanks for your suggestion. Forgive me, I'm a novice at this...
I have a table with 216 fields, 210 of which I would like to display in cells partially (substr function). Next I would like to attach a rightclick event showing d=greater detail in an information window.
Due to the number of fields involved, I used a for...next loop in the init event of the form to set the ControlSource of each column - and this worked.
I would like to go on to set the rightclick event (and others) except I don't know how to do this.
I am having trouble finding concrete examples of how to set events for an object using code. I guess I'm trying to get the most convenient mix of visual design and code and am having little joy using trial and error methodology!

As a worst case scenario I could manually set all 210 columns manually using the form designer, but there has got to be a better way!
