Re: Shortcut menu action syntax

Build a public function in the "main" (parent) form.


Public Function ShowAvailability

me.orderDetails.Form.ShowAvailability()

end if

Now, in the on-action for your menu bar, go:

=ShowAvailability()


Don't include the forms qualifier for a menu, else it will run 3
times...(long time bug in access).

Remember, the form that has the focus is which form the public function will
run. So, to run code in sub-forms you best build a function in the parent
form that simple calls the sub-form code...
