No event on form when event exists in module

I have a large complex Access program just about to go into release and
suddenly we are seeing cmd buttons and other events that no longer work. On
investigation while the code exists in the module it does not show in the
events tab of the properties for the cmd button. If I select click event in
properties it acts as if it is going to create a new proc in the code but
just repoints itself to the old one and all is well. While I could do this
for all the ones we have spotted what concerns me is the ones we havent -
does anyone know how to either fix this globally or be able to
programatically identify to lost links. I have tried a repair and decompile
but neither affects it. Curiously if you cut all the code from the module
then save then reinsert it it reassociates but not sure how I would write
this programatically.

This happens when you cut and paste controls. They loose the text "[Event
procedure]" in the property sheet.
Inserting this text is enough for button to "know" that there's some code it
needs to run.
I saw a utility recently that identifies code in modules that don't have the
corresponding [event procedure]-text in the property sheet for all control
in a form or application.
I'll se if I can find it.

This definately hasnt been cut and pasted since it was last working although
it was originaly so something else is going on here. I have been having
problems with a form events class as well which was not picking up events
unless there were procs for that event in the form module.
Would be gratefull if you could find that utility as I can see no way to
list the "defined" events for a form or control.
