Just browse all opened forms and call the same method on it. Use the TRY statement, so that if a form does not implement the method, it will fail silently. > > Finally, just out of interest, why can't modules raise events? > Because a module is not an object, it is a class with static methods only. And a class does not raise events. Even if a class raised events, you would not be able to add yours.
