The before start can't work because the everything else associated with the form isn't instantiated yet..

Thanks Gary,

That would be one workaround, but I prefer to keep as much code in my forms as possible for ease of maintenance, portability, and because the forms will often go through multitudinous revisions/trial versions, etc

I just discovered that in 9.5 the before design eep can call a form action.
If only the Before start could do the same.

Always dreaming…

Can you place the code in a table and use the Run Select command. This could allow u to run the code from anywhere in the program.

Is there a way to explicitly run one form eep from another?

Specifically, I would like to be able to call the OnBeforeDesign eep from the OnBeforeStart eep

This would very nicely eliminate having to manage identical code in both places.

I thought of putting that stuff in a Custom Form Action but those cannot be called from either of the aforementioned EEPs.
