    Multiple 'AfterUpdates' referring to single Function

    Hi All,



    This is more of an efficiency in coding posting than an issue. I currently have a bunch of comboboxes with their 'AfterUpdate' control referencing the same public function, so the format of my coding (not the actual long code, swapped out names/number for ease of reading);

    Public Function CalcTotals
    CalcTotals = 1
    End Function

    Private Sub cbo1_AfterUpdate()
    CalcTotals
    End Sub

    Private Sub cbo2_AfterUpdate()
    CalcTotals
    End Sub

    etc., etc...............

    So imagine the Private 'AfterUpdate' Subs littering my VB page. I'm just wondering if there was a way to re-write so there's only one area for CalcTotals and all 'AfterUpdate's are referenced, make my page look cleaner. I guess something that would look like;

    CalcTotals()
    --cbo1_AfterUpdate()
    --cbo2_AfterUpdate()

    I know that example wouldn't work, just wondering if there's a syntax or way to get it close to that.

    Thanks for any advice!

    Not really. You can put:

    =CalcTotals()

    directly into the after update property in the properties window, so it says that instead of "[Event procedure]". Same effect, but no "litter".
