use immediate window

[Guest]

I have tried repeatedly to ge the immediate window working and have never
succeeded. I realize this isn't rocket science. Following the instructions
in the help file online from MS, I entered the following line:

Form_frmSomething.Form_Load

And pressed enter. The instructions say this will cause the sub to execute.
Nothing happens. What am I missing?

Only if that form is opened and if the event code routine has been made
"Public".

Rick: why don't they say that?????? I can't tell you how frustrated I get
over incomplete directions. Things you know are simple but search for
literally days and can't find the answer. Then it turns out it was a comma
somewhere!!!
Thanks very much for the help.
