In the recent (& extremely useful) Bullen, Bovey, Green book it is
recommended not to put error trapping in the form Initialize or
Activate events but instead to let the error be handled by the
procedure which loaded the form or displayed it. This seems to make
good sense but if an error occurs in my Activate event it does not
cascade back to the calling procedure but instead gives me an error
message. Am I missing something here?

(If the error occurs in the Initialize event then this is handled as
desired).

Thanks,
Andrew
