what does (ITEM__) mean?

[dgm]

I've seen syntax never seen before: Me.ITEM__ followed by two underscores.

What is this? There is no control with that name. It seems to be an inherent
report property. Clicking on definition shows "WithEvents ITEM__ As
_ControlInReportEvents". Thanks

hi,

I'd like to get an answer from someone who knows
what it is rather than infer what it might be. Thanks

ITEM__ is a simple name for an object variable, see

And Access._ControlInReportEvents is an hidden, undocumented interface:

Microsoft has paid support available. Most likely they would ask for more
information that you provided in your brief initial posting, but you could
have reasonable confidence of finding somebody who "knows". Or maybe the
links provided in the follow-up posting demonstrate to your satisfaction
that Stefan in fact has quite a bit of information, as his posting history
in this forum has demonstrated over and over.

To be fair to you, searches with special characters seem to be quite
difficult to perform, so a lack of search results may be inconclusive.
