In a form how I can I trap for the action that a user opens the built in
'find dialog'? I would like to trap for it and before the dialog shows up, I
would like to execute some code, and after that I would like to bring up the
'find dialog'.
thanks,
john

If you mean the Find dialog box and you have a button on your form that opens
Find, then you can simply edit the code behind the On Click of that button
and add your code before the DoCmd that opens the Find.

I do mean that dialog box but if the user presses Ctrl-F or chooses it from
the menu, how would I trap for that?

Build a macro named AutoKeys. (The name is important.)
In the Macros Names column (View menu if you don't see it), use ^F (Shift 6
to get the caret character.) In the Action column, use RunCode to call your
function. At the end of your code, use RunCommand acCmdFind to open the
dialog.

Thanks, that works for Ctr-F. Is it also possible to trap for:
- choosing Find from the menu, and
- choosing Find from the binoculars button in the toolbar?

So you need a custom menu and toolbar?
Easy enough to create a new menu/toobar, and copy (Ctrl+Drag) the items you
want from the existing menu, but use your own buttons for the Find items.
