Then how would you suggest this is best handled? The window has a
property called db which needs to be set for most of the
functionality of the window, including the open event of the
listboxes and popup menus within the window. Should I set db in each
of these Open events to ensure that it is set when they are called?
At this time, I'm setting it in the Window.Activate event, which
seems to work. It seems a pain to have to put the same line of code
in every control's Open event given that I don't know which will fire
first. Or, given that controls execute their Open events in the order
of the control order (is this documented and guaranteed?), I could
place an invisible control on the window, make it the first in the
order, and place my property setting code there.

found the order to be:
Controls.Open (in control order)
Window.Open
Window.Activate
This is actually contrary to what I'm experiencing, perhaps because
of platform differences. The order I've found with my testing is:
Window.Activate
Controls.Open
Window.Open
Regardless, to have the control Open events fire before the Window's
Open event seems backward to me.
I don't mind that the Activate fires every time the Window comes to
the front, as the code within it is very simple at this point:
db = App.Database
Mostly, it's so I don't have to type "App.Database" every time I need
to refer to it within the Window's code.
Perhaps a Constructor is a better option? Basically, I need that line
above to execute before pretty much anything else.
Thanks,
Chuck
