Foil 6 The Access Event Model

From Overview of Microsoft Access used with Active Server Pages(ASP) CPS616 Technologies of Information Age -- Spring 1998. by Nancy McCracken and Sangetta Aggarwal
An 'object' is what can be seen in the database window --tables, queries, forms, fields, indexes, controls etc. To create an Access application, objects have to be created and manipulated in response to events which are simply change in state occurring for example, when the mouse is moved, a button is clicked etc..
Event Handlers in Access are Macro, Event procedure, Global module function and Form module function. All except the Macro use the VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) language. 3 type of events can occur for a form:
  • Form events
  • Section Events
  • Control Events
