text box

[crowegreg]

Within a text box, if data is entered, a procedure exectures within the update event. If no change is made to the text box, how do I get the update event to run?

You'd have to fire it manually. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?

In the update event, it saves the record, then creates a new record, then advances to the new record, then sets the focus to a textbox within the new record. If no update is recognized, the focus advances to the next textbox within the tab order of the original record.

Hi -

Do you want that procedure to run whether the textbox was updated or not? If so, you could put it in the On Exit event of the textbox, in which case it would fire when you tabbed out of the text box (or pressed Enter, [usually])
