Item_Open, Item_Read etc. Documentation

[Guest]

Hi:

I've been unable to find any list of "Item_" Functions like Item_Open and
Item_Read documented. I'd like to know what events fire when an item is
opened in design mode and what fires when an item is opened in run mode. The
purpose is that I need some code to run only when an item is opened in run
mode but other code to run in both design and run modes when an item is
opened from either a Choose form dialogue, a Design form dialogue or as a
saved item.

Thanks for your help.

They're all documented in the object browser (F2 in VBA and many other IDEs). Look under MailItem, AppointmentItem, etc., but there's no event specific to opening a form in design mode.

The easiest way to see what events fire when is to add each event handler to your form's code and include a MsgBox statement to tell you which event fired.
