after form load

[juanjosemtz]

Is there a way to make a procedure just when the form is loaded, something like after_form_load()....????

I use a MSRDC with a MSFlexGrid, and in the form load, the MSRDC connect to the DB, but I can't retrive the data in the grid, some how it don't refresh, so I want to do it just when the form load finished.

Thank you

have you tried Form_Activate()

it might work...

I think he wants to execute some code when the form is loaded, but not actually IN the Form_Load event...

I've had the same problem, and here's what I did:

Private Sub Form_Load()
  ' .. Regular form_load stuff ..
  Call initDatabase
  ' .. Other code that needs to "see" the database ...
End Sub

Private Sub initDatabase()
  datMyDataSource.Refresh
  grdMyGrid.Refresh
End Sub

When form_load gives control to initDatabase, the sub forces the data source to load and open the connection before it otherwise would (at the end of form_load).

I had a problem a little similar..using a db I went from form to form and of course the load wouldn't work..so I just built a public sub to do my stuff and called if from form activate.
