field with Text Datatype in Bound form not updating

[ChobeyGuddu]

HI
in My database i have a field which is causing me problem...

In a Form - A field called MW Existing TNE:- is a TEXT Field where it can hold numbers or text...
in Table its TEXT as well.

But for some reason this field is giving me -1 or 0 values in return when i search any details in form.
All other fields in form works fine- the only above filed is not working properly

I have made it exactly the same as other fields property which is text as well - but not had any joy or luck..

Any reason or anyone shed some light how can i fix it please.



Thanks

-1 and 0 are Boolean values which you can get if you have a formula e.g.

a=b

will return -1 if true and 0 if false

what is the controlsource to the control on the form? - and have you set any format properties to that control?

perhaps in your recordsource you have set something like a=b thinking it is a criteria?

Hi Ajax,
There is no Change in Property from my end..
it has controlsource as default - bound form - so direct from table.

Thanks

only other thing I can see is

when i search any details in form

how are you searching? what is the code?

[ChobeyGuddu]

Private Sub cmdSearch_Click()
Dim bkmk As Variant
Dim strField As String
Me.RecordsetClone.MoveFirst
'Find the first record that matches what
'is in the search text box.
Me.RecordsetClone.FindFirst "XHostCell Like " _
& Chr(34) & Me.txtSEARCH & "*" & Chr(34)



If Me.RecordsetClone.NoMatch Then
MsgBox "No Match"
Else
bkmk = Me.RecordsetClone.Bookmark
Me.Recordset.Bookmark = bkmk
End If
End Sub

Hmm, nothing stands out as being a problem

I presume the fields in the table do not contain 0 and -1?


Assuming not, can you upload a copy of the db? Remove unnecessary tables, forms etc., remove or change any sensitive data, then compact the db and zip it

HI Ajax,

Thanks for your help mate...

I just found the issue in my code...

I had a code while searching a details with if condition

if X=Y then
Me.MWExistingTNE = False (instead of Me.MWExistingTNE.Enabled = False)

Else: Me.MWExistingTNE = True (instead of Me.MWExistingTNE.Enabled = True)

Which is making it boolean values instead of taking data from ControlSource.

Many thanks for your help again.. mate ...
Sometime a simple mistake can take you long way down - thats what happend to me today...
