Say I open a form (MyForm) in design view, then I close it and
dbl-click it in the database window to open it. Shouldn't the Activate
event occur in all such situations? What might the case(s) be if the
Activate event does NOT fire?

And what about opening that same form from code - should the
Activate event fire then too?

I just ran some tests. Activate is firing in all cases.
How are you testing?
How did you insert the code?
Is it possible that the Active event's code has somehow become
disconnected from the form? Try copying the contents of the Activate
event in code, then delete the entire event, and go back to the form
and recreate it.

Not sure what's going on with your code, but when I open or switch to
(tab to) an already open form with code in the OnActivate event of the
form, it fires just fine. Of course, it won't fire if you don't open
it in Normal mode (ie if you are opening it in design mode, none of
the events fire).

Good key combination in these cases is (in VBA window):
Ctrl+A (select all), Ctrl+X (cut), Ctrl+V (paste)
That will re-connect all event procedures.
Well, that is it will in this century's versions of Access, dunno about
the erstwhile ones :-)

I have seen occasions where if the form's module is corrupted, simply
cutting and pasting alone does not remove the corruption.
I generally -
Ctrl+A (select all), Ctrl+X (cut)
On the form's property sheet set HasModule to No (completely remove
current module)
Save the form
Open the form's module (will now be a new module)
Delete the declarations from the top of the module (so they are not
duplicated after pasting)
Ctrl+V (paste)

Er, who was talking about code corruption? I was talking about the
loss of the connection between the object and it's events in code.
Sometimes you can see [EVENT PROCEDURE] in an object's properties
sheet, but the event doesn't fire, and the only solution I've found
is recreating it from scratch, via the property sheet UI.

Picky, picky, picky!
Despite the "actual definition", when the leftmost digit rolls, most of the
world views it as "the new millennium" -- the cruise line must have, as the
cruise I took as a Millennium cruise encompassed January 1, 2000, not
January 1, 2001. I figured if the ship's computer suffered Y2K freak-out,
there'd likely be enough food until we drifted to one or the other shores of
the Caribbean.

Would the semantics matter anyway as A2K came out in '99? Let's just say
the versions supported by MS this century.
I'm talking A2K onwards where the VBA model changed to use the separate
code window. I've never tried that method in earlier versions.

Has anyone else noticed this problem? I converted the back-end to A2000
and the performance problem was fixed. We supply a 97 and 2000 version
of our software so we kept the backend in A97 to make upgrading simple
for users. We've done it like that for years but a new client has been
having severe performance issues... solved by converting the backend to
2000.

I'm working with Access 2K and seem to be getting some behavior that
contradicts the documentation. First, the help says:
"Note The Activate event doesn't occur when a form receives focus back
from a dialog box, popup, or another form."
This doesn't seem to be the case. The form activate consistently fires when
focus moves from another form.
Secondly, the activate event for a report. I am seeing it fire consistently
