Remarks

To run a macro or event procedure when these events occur, set the OnMouseUp or OnMouseDown property to the name of the macro or to [Event Procedure].

You can use a MouseDown or MouseUp event to specify what happens when a particular mouse button is pressed or released. Unlike the Click and DblClick events, the MouseDown and MouseUp events enable you to distinguish between the left, right, and middle mouse buttons. You can also write code for mouse-keyboard combinations that use the SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keys.

To cause a MouseDown or MouseUp event for a form to occur, press the mouse button in a blank area or record selector on the form. To cause a MouseDown or MouseUp event for a form section to occur, press the mouse button in a blank area of the form section.

The following apply to both MouseDown and MouseUp events:

To respond to an event caused by moving the mouse, you use a MouseMove event.
