    Reacting to events in a member of a set of controls

    I would like a particular action to fire every time there's a
    mouseover event for any button on my (Access 2003) form. Does anyone
    know how to do this without writing an OnMouseOver event procedure for
    every button?

              You could write a class that encapsulates a button control and
              intercepts
              defined events, but it's hardly worth the effort for one event.

                  Interesting. Can you elaborate?
                  Are you saying you can write a class and somehow (WithEvents?)
                  associate it with an ordinary button? That sounds a lot like
                  subclassing if we were doing straight SDK programming.
                  Do you have a link?

                      The Master of the out of ordinary does it here with a form. It would
                      be ridiculous
                      for me to post anything I have when you can look at what he did.
