Generate Application Event response type

A form event handler with the Generate Application Event response type generates an event in the Application Event System. Only custom events, defined on the Events form, can be generated.

Note: This response type is used only for application events and their handlers. For form events, use the Generate event response type.

Be aware that the Application Event System is distinct from the form event system. The response type Generate Event generates a form event, and you define handlers for that event in the Form properties sheet. The response type Generate Application Event generates an event in the multi-tiered, application-wide system, and you define handlers separately in that system.
