clicking on background of form

[Tim Graichen]

I would like to be able to click outside of a field (i.e. on the background
of the form) and have the following happen:

Docmd.RunCommand accmdsaverecord
NextRecordButton.SetFocus

What event should I have this code in that would allow it to run when the
click is outside of a control area?

Tim,
Each form section has events, just like a control does.
I would however, suggest the form section's double-click event,
as your likely to get inadvertent single clicks:

Private Sub Detail_DblClick(Cancel As Integer)
Docmd.RunCommand accmdsaverecord
NextRecordButton.SetFocus
End Sub

But then the question arises... why?

If you are through entering data on a record, simply going
to the next record saves the record.
