    Is there an event triggered *after* a combo box as added/changed its bound value?

    I have a combo box in a form. If I enter a new value, it will then go into a table. Once that happens I want to add something to that new row in the table. It appears all the combo box events are triggered before the value is entered into the table, which I assume is because the value is entered when I switch to a new row in the table.



    So I'm wondering if there is any event triggered in the form itself that I can use to process the table? Or some other way to call a function immediately after a row has been added to this table from this form?

    Not sure exactly what you want, but maybe this will help. When editing a record (meaning the controls on a form are bound to a table or updatable query) events for controls happen first. When you do anything to update the form (commit the changes to a record) form events occur. The first, I think, is BeforeUpdate. Various user actions will cause the form to update - moving off the record, closing the form or any code that causes this to occur. You may see a new combo selection in a table if you look, but if you haven't committed the record, you'll see the pencil on the left side of the table row, which means that updates have not yet been committed.

    So based on your comments I can't tell if you want to edit some field(s) in a record before you commit it or after that happens.
