Calendar control doesn't trigger AfterUpdate event

[Euler271]

I have a calendar control that I use to fill an unbound text box. After the calendar control fills the text box I need the AfterUpdate event of the text box to trigger so a subform becomes visible. Filling the text box manually with a date triggers the AfterUpdate event but for some reason filling it with the calendar control does not. I read that the form's AfterUpdate event would trigger but that's not what I need in this case.



Can someone help with this? Thank you very much for any assistance.

When you programmatically populate a control its events won't fire, this is how Access controls work. How do you call the calendar control? You can make the AfterUpdate sub public and call it from somewhere else? Show us some code...

Agree with Ranman, or after you programmatically change the control value, save the record e.g.
Me.Dirty = False
