Can't Use OnCurrent Event / Can't Find Macro

I have run into a sudden problem and thought I'd see if anyone else has
ran into this.

Out of nowhere (sort-of) I am not able to access the OnCurrent event on
a subform. I, of course, can write code for the event, but [Event
Procedure] under OnCurrent does not show up on the properties of the
subform, and the event does not fire.

When this problem happened, it seems to have also generated an error
while changing records in the Main Form. The error is "...can't find
the macro ".". At least I think their related...both started at the
same time.

I have never used a macro in my life.

When I say "sort-of" above, the only thing I can think that I may have
done is this: When quickly "ALT-TAB'ing" between my form and the VB
editor, I *think* I accidently deleted the words [Event Procedure] out
of the said OnCurrent event. Although, I'm quite sure I have done this
in the past, and was able to just re-initiate the event, and move on.

Now, when I try to re-initiate the event (by clicking the "..." symbol
next to the event) it brings up the EXPRESSION BUILDER! Not the Choose
Builder request like it should.

I have tried everything short of re-creating the form completely
(compact/repair, export form - c/r
- import form, ext...)

Anybody ever see this?

You should be able to just type in [Event Procedure] in the event slot and it
will begin working.

Damn, I wish I would have tried that. I ended up recreating the
sub-form (via copy/paste), and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the
tip though!

In A2003, I have a bound continuous form (OK, actually a sub form of an unbound main form, but I don't think that matters here). The record source consists of an Jet SQL statement that returns one record per the entity that I want to display on the form. There is another table, not included with the form's SQL source that has a one to many relationship with the table in the form's SQL statement that gives additional information about one...

I have added some VBA code to a form's OnCurrent event, intending to retrieve information about the record that I am scrolling _to_. Instead, this code is retrieving information about the record that I am scrolling _away_ from. As you might expect, the control to which I am writing this information is not staying in sync with the other information on the form. Suggestions?

I would like to use the oncurrent event of a subform. The subform class seems to offer onEnter and onExit only, so I tried up to set the event handling routine programatically. It works fine with a macro: MySubForm.Form.OnCurrent = "MyMacro" But what about using VBA code? What procedure name does Access expect after having found MySubForm.Form.OnCurrent = "" ? MySubForm.Form.Name is "myQuery" so I tried up to define
