AfterFinalRender

[PeterM]

I have a parent form and a child form in AC2003. I have searched this forum
and the web and cannot find an example of what I'm trying to do.

I need the child form to open only after the parenty form has completely
opened. The parent form has some charts on it and it takes some time to
open. After the parent form has finished completely, I want to open the
child form. That is, once the last chart on the parent form displays I want
to open the child form.

Based on the few examples I have found, I have the following in the parent
form I have:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Form.AfterFinalRender = "[EventProcedure]"

I've also tried:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
form(0).AfterFinalRender = "[EventProcedure]"

which doesn't work either.

In the AfterFinalRender event in the parent form I have:

Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object)
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmbackingupdatabase", acNormal, , , acFormEdit,
acWindowNormal, "Updating Outlook Calendar..."
End Sub

The code in the Form_AfterFinalRender in the parent form never gets called.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I would really appreciate it.

From the help on msdn, there is some sample code.
Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object)
MsgBox "The PivotChart View has fully rendered."
End Sub

Here are helpful descriptions:

After Final Render occurs after all elements in the specified PivotChart
view have been rendered.

Syntax:
expression.AfterFinalRender(drawObject )

expression A variable that represents a Form object.

Parameters:
Name Required/Optional Data Type Description
drawObject Required Object A ChChartDraw object. Use the methods and
properties of this object to draw objects on the chart.

Return Value:
nothing

Example:
The following example demonstrates the syntax for a subroutine that traps
the AfterFinalRender event.

Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object)
MsgBox "The PivotChart View has fully rendered."
End Sub
'end of descriptions from msdn----------------


Although I don't have experience with charts, I suggest you try something
like:

Private Sub Form_AfterFinalRender(ByVal drawObject As Object)
Me.NameOfSubformControl.Visible = True
End Sub

Note: replace drawObject with your chart object, and NameOfSubformControl
with the name of the subform control on the main form. The subform and the
subform control may have different names.

I have a parent form and a child form in AC2003. I have searched this
forum
and the web and cannot find an example of what I'm trying to do.

I need the child form to open only after the parenty form has completely
opened. The parent form has some charts on it and it takes some time to
open. After the parent form has finished completely, I want to open the
child form. That is, once the last chart on the parent form displays I
want
to open the child form.

Based on the few examples I have found, I have the following in the parent
form I have:

Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
Me.Form.AfterFinalRender = "[EventProcedure]"

I've also tried:
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer)
form(0).AfterFinalRender = "[EventProcedure]"

which doesn't work either.

In the AfterFinalRender event in the parent form I have:

The code in the Form_AfterFinalRender in the parent form never gets
