The Microsoft Access WizHook object has been shrouded in mystery since its first known public appearance as part of [Skrol's VTools add-in](https://www.skrol29.com/us/vtools.php).

Until recently, the only decent documentation on the object came from non-English websites. 

- [German](https://www.team-moeller.de/?Tipps%5Fund%5FTricks:Wizhook-Objekt) (Thomas Moeller)
- [Spanish](http://www.mvp-access.es/juanmafan/wizhook/wizhook.htm) (Juan M. Afán deRibera)
- [French](https://cafeine.developpez.com/access/tutoriel/autoextensible/) (Charles A. Feine)

While modern auto-translation makes those resources more accessible to English-speaking developers than in years past, there's finally a good English-first resource for the WizHook object that I can recommend. 

## IslaDogs' WizHook Reference

Fellow Access MVP Colin Riddington (aka, IslaDogs) has a [page dedicated to the WizHook object](https://isladogs.co.uk/wizhook/index.html): 

[WizhookA detailed reference guide to the hidden, undocumented but very useful Access WizHook object and its members![](https://isladogs.co.uk/images/favicon.png)Isladogs on AccessColin Riddington![](https://isladogs.co.uk/img/logoOG.png)](https://isladogs.co.uk/wizhook/index.html)

The page includes a downloadable Access database with usage samples and documentation for every WizHook method. As you can see in the screenshot below, the methods are color-coded to indicate which ones are:

- **Fully Working** (green)
- **Partly Working** (yellow)
- **Not Working/Unknown** (blue)
- **No Longer Applicable** (orange) - *related to Data Access Pages*

As I understand it, the sample database is a translation/expansion of the original database provided by Thomas Moeller, whose [German-language by-method detailed documentation](https://www.team-moeller.de/?Tipps%5Fund%5FTricks:Wizhook-Objekt) is widely considered the authoritative reference on the WizHook object.
