Can't leave field if it's used to modify another?
I have a simple Access 2000 form displaying multiple records in a
tablular (continuous form) format. I have an Exit procedure on one field that checks if it's changed; if so, it updates the value of another field. All's fine if I Tab or Enter to leave the changed field, but if I use the mouse to move to another record focus stays on the original field. (And I'm never setting Cancel in the Exit procedure). Any ideas?

Could you use the AfterUpdate event of the control?
That fires only if the user changed the value, and is less likely to mess with the focus issue. -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP. Perth, Western Australia.
