Change text box values as tab through datasheet
I've got a form with a subform and three text boxes on it.
The subform is a datasheet view of the query that is the form and the subform's record source. This subform works perfectly. My problem is with the three text boxes. What I want to happen is this: as I tab forward and backward through the cells of the datasheet, I want the values of the text boxes to change according to which cell I'm in. How? The fields of the datasheet view are as follows: Category English Spanish Portuguese Kreyol French It's simply a five language dictionary. The category field is for stuff like parts of speech, months, etc. The three text boxes are as follows: Synomyms Antonyms Example Here's the idea again. As I tab through the dictionary, I want the values of the text boxes to change according to the word (cell) that has focus, that is, I want the "Synonyms" text box to display synonyms of the word I select in the dictionary. Ditto for the "Antonyms" text box and also for the "Example" text box. I've got the little database zipped up and ready to send. It has only two records in it so far. Thanks! -Dave |
