Accessing events

Use the Manager to define and set up event handlers using the Events dialog or tab for the level on which you want to implement the VBA or DLL. (For help on deciding which level, see Where should the event handlers be placed?.)

When FORMS looks for an event handler, it searches in the current, specific context first (at the top of the list), then in the more general context, until an event handler has been found or no more contexts exist.

Where you gain access	Event level handled
Click the Events tab in the Field dialog	field level
Click Events in the Form definition settings dialog	form level
Click Events in the Set definition dialog	set level
Click the Events tab in the Job description dialog	job level
Choose Settings ð Application events ð Define	application level
Same as job description and application level above	batch level

To access the Event details of most existing event handlers, expand the appropriate form or set definition or job description, click the Events folder and double-click the event handler you want to open. (See Editing event handlers for more details.)
