The sample downloadable database Orders.mdb has two forms called ShowEvents and EventHistory that can help you learn the order of events in Microsoft
Access. If you use the ShowEvents form, Microsoft Access automatically
opens the EventHistory form and displays all the form and control events in
the order they occur in the ShowEvents form. For example, as you click the
mouse, select a field, and press TAB to move through controls or move from
record to record in the ShowEvents form, these events are listed in the
EventHistory form.
The listing of events is accomplished by an event procedure called
ShowEvent that is assigned to all form and control event properties in the ShowEvents form. Each time the
ShowEvent procedure is called, it sets the value of a text box control in the EventHistory form to include the event that has just occurred in the ShowEvents form.
