Firing event from program

you can just run the sub:Private Sub Command1_Click()
Text1_Change
End Subbad programming practise though. If you need to run the code contained within then move it to a sub and call that sub instead:Private Sub Command1_Click()
TextChanged Text1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub Text1_Change()
TextChanged Text1.Text
End Sub

Private Sub TextChanged(ByVal sText As String)
' Your Code
End Sub

bushmobile,

Not being smart or anything, why would you call that bad programing practice? I do it all the time, mostly when a menu item does the same thing the a command buttong would do. if I have already written one, I just call it from the other.

I can see where calling an event subroutine from somewhere else in the program might get confusing to read it but does calling one event subroutine from another if both do the same things also qualify as a bad practice?

Ah, I guess its a philosophical thing then. I find it easier to maintain if I have two events that cause the same thing to happen, to put real code in one and call it from the other than to pull that code into a third sub or function and call it from both.

As I see it, calling one from the other means I only have to keep up with two subs but I can see the value of calling a function, then at least you know your messing with code that may be used by called by another.
