Question

My MS Access application has a subroutine which fires after I update one control on a form.

Public Sub cboCrew_AfterUpdate()
    ...do some work...
End Sub

I would like to call this same sub from a function I have defined in Module1

Function my_function()
     Call cboCrew_AfterUpdate
End Function

This code throws the error: “Compile Error Sub or Function not defined”

I suspect that the problem is that I am not being specific enough, in my call to the sub.
Do I need to reference the sub with "some_modulte_name.sub_name" ?
Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

Set this up the other way around…

Public Sub cboCrew_AfterUpdate()
    My_Function
End Sub

Function my_function(frm As Form)
     ''Do stuff
End Function

Re comment

Public Sub cboCrew_AfterUpdate()
    My_Function Me 
End Sub

Function my_function(frm As Form)
     MsgBox frm.Name
End Function

Sub AnotherSub()
   My_Function Forms!AFormName
End Sub
