Auto-completing fields
I am wondering if the following is possible...
I have a tabbed form with 2 tabs. After I enter some information on the first tabbed page, and I click on the second tab, I want some of the information to automatically appear in some of the fields on the second page that correspond to fields on the first tabbed page. The fields have different names, or else I'd just put them outside of the tabs and let them remain the same while I changed pages. Can anyone help me? Thank you!

Why? As in "why do you have the same data called two different names?" One
of the advantages of a well-normalized relational database is that you only need to store a particular fact once. Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "Rush" wrote in message ...

Auto-completing fields
Hey, that wasn't the question. I was asking if it could be done. I didn't
design the database, and can't change it now due to where the data is coming from. So, can it be done? "Jeff Boyce" wrote: Why? As in "why do you have the same data called two different names?"

Jeff's point is valid, but sure it can be done! The real secret is that the
tabbed pages are really just one form. Use this code, replacing the text box names with your own names. Private Sub Tab1TextBox_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Me.Tab2TextBox.Value = Me.Tab1TextBox.Value End Sub Rush wrote: Hey, that wasn't the question. I was asking if it could be done.

As missinglinq points out, you certainly can. I would have been remiss if I hadn't asked the purpose ... after all, I can drive nails with my chainsaw .... but it isn't a very good idea!
