GENERAL INFO

Event History was conceived while trying to debug a MS-Access 
User-Interface where all kind of strange things happened while 
navigating through the (very complex) form.
Especially the division header/detail and main/sub form coused 
all kinds of strange results.

Then i stumbled on a nice piece of code, of which i 
accidentally lost the original, so i can't thank the author.
This was not quite what i needed as i wanted a hard-copy of the 
Event History to study at my leisure wherever i want (i don't 
take a PC with me to bed if you want to know!).

After some study and trying i made it happening and working as 
i wanted, complete with cosmetic improvement.

As i made it while learning programming in Access-Basic, and it 
did not really take me much time, i put this in the Public 
Domain. 
It is STRICTLY forbidden to trade it or make money with it.
For that, think up your own code!


INSTALLATION

Installation is simple.
Just use the Add-In Manager to add EventHis to the list.
For help, use F1 in the Add-In manager.
The rest is automatic.

A Global Subroutine ShowEvent("text") is added.
The main startfunction is StartTracking(), which can be called 
from a Macro.
Create a function which calls ShowEvent if you want to use it 
otherwise than from Access-Basic Event-Procedures or Subs or 
Functions. 

CAUTION

As EventHis uses MS Word for Windows (V.6.0)-Basic, it will 
return errormessages when Word is not registered.
Other wordprocessors might be usable, but then you have to 
adapt the code! The keywords to look for are WordObj. and 
WordBasic. Use the Help for your Word-processor to find the 
right commands. As this system uses OLE2, you will have to find 
a way around that (Using DDE) if your Wordprocessor does not 
support OLE2. Not that i recomment any other Wordprocessor than 
WinWord, but i do not have access to other also!
Maybe a lot of SendKeys will work also, but much slower!

		Try it and enjoy!
