Re: [MS_AccessPros] Need code correction

 

Ken-

It looks like you're trying to set the Default Value for the next new row based on what is set in the current one.  For that, you should be using AfterUpdate, not Before.  And why are you putting hashtags around the value?  You need to do that only when the value is a datetime.  If the value is text, you need to add quotes.

As for DropDown - it's a long-standing bug in Access that it works in some combos but not all.

Access 2010

1.       1. I use the following code on form it works fine in Text Box but it does not work in combo box why?

Private Sub ComPayCode_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)

If Not IsNull(Me.ComPayCode.Value) Then

 ComPayCode.DefaultValue = "#" & Me.ComPayCode & "#"

 End If

 

2.       2. Also this simple code in GotFocus:  Me!ComboboxName.Dropdown works on some of combo boxes but not on all.

 

Thanks, Ken
