MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

Open the sample database Outline.mdb.

Open the Example 4 form in Design view.

Using the right mouse button, click the Data Outline Control object, and then click Build Event on the menu that appears.

Select the AfterFormOpen event and add the following code:
```
      MsgBox "The AfterFormOpen event fired."
```
Select the AfterFormClose event and add the following code:
```
      MsgBox "The AfterFormClose event fired."
```
Save and close the form.
Open the Example 4 form in Form view, and then double-click the first item (or order) in the Data Outline Control. Note that after the Orders form opens, you receive the message "The AfterFormOpen event fired."
Close the Orders form. Note that you do not receive a message when the form closes even though the AfterFormClose event has occurred.
