how to transfer data from one field to another field

[darwin]

I have a form

In the form I have two fields, a bonus field and a confirm field

What I want is; when type a number in the bonus field (textbox)


then the number must automatically appear in the confirm field (textbox)

In the formular event I am unsure which event I should choose, and in the
vba I am unsure what to type.

In the event of bonus field I have tried this in a afterupdate event, but no reaction
appear.

Private Sub Bonus_AfterUpdate()
Me.Bonus = Me.Confirm
End Sub

hope some can help me, i am quite new access and vba user

Why are you duplicating data? What purpose does this serve?

Textbox can have expression that refers to another textbox: =[textbox1]

You have the code backwards.

Me.Confirm = Me.Bonus

Yes AFTERUPDATE is correct.
tho the user may need to press enter.
oh, yeah, the assignment is backwards.

But the afterupdate event where to place it
the bonus field (textbox) or the confirm field (textbox)

[June7]

The event shown is correct. The assignment expression was wrong.

You describe a requirement to set value of Confirm after data input to Bonus. Then logically the code must be associated with the Bonus textbox.

Thanks June7

But there is no reaction

I have a issue here

The form is bouild on a Query

the bonus field is a calculated field with no table,

the field look as this "Bonus: (([tblStamData]![Løn]*[tblBonus]![Overtid50Antal.........."

the confirm field has a table

I have tried a test with a table with two normal fields, and here it is okay, so it look like issue with
a calculated field ??

[darwin]

Yes I fix it, I place the Me.Confirm = Me.Bonus, to another field

Sorry

[June7]

Okay, then why are you saving calculated data? Why not just calculate when needed?
