OnAction executing twice

This is MS Access 2002. I am creating some custom buttons on a
CommandBar for a form. Below is the code. It works fine except that
the OnAction procedure is executed twice. Why? How can I fix this?

Private Sub cmdCreateTestTo olBar_Click()
On Error Resume Next
CommandBars("Te st Toolbar").Delet e

On Error GoTo ErrorFound

Dim ctl As CommandBarContr ol

Call CommandBars.Add ("Test Toolbar", msoBarTop, False, True)
Set ctl = CommandBars("Te st Toolbar") _
.Controls.Add(m soControlButton , , , , True)
ctl.OnAction = "=Screen.Active Form.OnAction_C lick"
ctl.Style = 2
ctl.Caption = "On Action"
CommandBars("Te st Toolbar").Visib le = True

ErrorFound:
If (Err.Number <> 0) Then
MsgBox "Error (" & Err.Number & ") found." _
& vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
End If
End Sub

Private Sub OnAction_Click( )
MsgBox "OnAction button was pressed from Form1."
End Sub

This has been a known bug since Access 97. The usual workaround is to
create a public function in a standard module that calls your forms'
methods, and call that public function from OnAction property.

You can also maintain a static long variable in your form's code and only
execute the code when the variable is even, then increment the variable by
1. Sometimes the bug causes it to execute three times, so you'd need to
use Mod 3.

Thanks Dimitri! I had thought about using that work around, but
didn't want to. Any word on when(if) Microsoft will fix this error?

Well, since it wasn't fixed in the last seven years, I wouldn't hold my
breath.

I was wondering if the CommandBarButton OnAction property would allow you to specify a function from a module to be called. According to the post made by Turtle in 1998, the OnAction property can only specify a macro name. Is this still the case? I agree with Turtle that "this is pretty funky." -Vincent From: Turtle - view profile Date: Sat, Nov 21 1998 4:00 am

I thought I understood how the SaveViewState is working and was trying to use this (as per some code I found) to detect refreshes. It seemed to be working but I found that the SaveViewState was executing twice on load of page and can't figure out why.
