How can I call a form's event using a string

[BUX]

I have to call Forms!myForm.my Control_AfterUp date using
myString = "Forms!myForm.m yControl_AfterU pdate".
I have tried with

Application.Run myString

Call myString

eval myString

but no one work.

I tried also using the class module name:
myString= "Form_myForm.my Control_AfterUp date"
but it work only if is used without quote in debug window.

Have you any suggestion?
thank you

You need to change the event handler from Private
to Public. Then:
Set frm = forms("frmName" )
CallByName frm "procedure_name "

or

Run "forms('frmName ').procedure_na me"

(but for form procedures the 'run' method will
run the procedure twice every time you call it.)

In A97, there was a way to call form procedures
directly: Run "form_frmName.p rocedure_name", but that
breaks the modern interface paradigm so it was disabled.
