Update field when another field is updated
I have a customer form. There is one field that is a lookup so we can denote
if the customer is active or inactive. When a new customer is added I have a date field that records this date (date()) as the default value. When I change the customer status from active to inactive I want this date field to automatically update to the date when the status is changed. How can I do this? Thanks -- Jerry Schutt

Update field when another field is updated
In the AfterUpdate event of the Status field, put code that updates the Date
field. If I'm understanding correctly, your Status field is a combo box, so you'd use something like: Private Sub cboStatus_AfterUpdate() If Me.cboStatus = "Inactive" Then Me.txtLastUpdate = Date End If End Sub -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Jerry" wrote in message ...

Update field when another field is updated
Dear Douglass,
I am putting in the code: Private Sub InmateStatus_AfterUpdate() If Me.InmateStatus = "Inactive" Then Me.Text37 = Date End If End Sub this is actually not for customers but for a prison ministry newsletter I do for our church,that is why you see inmates used Text37 is where the date information is stored. You are right that the status field is a combo box, however with this code the date field (Text37) does not update. any more suggestions? thanks -- Jerry Schutt "Douglas J.

Update field when another field is updated
Try putting the line of code
MsgBox Me.InmateStatus in that routine before the If statement. It's possible that the bound field for your combo box returns something other than Active or Inactive. -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Jerry" wrote in message news  Dear Douglass, I am putting in the code: Private Sub InmateStatus_AfterUpdate() If Me.InmateStatus = "Inactive" Then Me.Text37 = Date End If End Sub this is actually not for customers but for a prison ministry newsletter I do for our church,that is why you see inmates used Text37 is where the date information is stored.

Update field when another field is updated
The message box did exactly what it was supposed to: it showed that
Me.InmateStatus isn't returning the word Inactive, which is what the code was expecting. Sounds as though what you want is: Private Sub InmateStatus_AfterUpdate() If Me.InmateStatus = 2 Then Me.Text37 = Date End If End Sub -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Jerry" wrote in message ... Dear Doug, I hate to keep bothering you but I still cannot get this to work. Yes, you are correc that I have more then active and inactive in the combo box. There is also released for inmates that are released (obviously). Only these three choices. When I added the code MsgBox Me.InmateStatus before the IF statement the date field (Text37) would not update when I changed an inmate from Active to Inactive. What would happen is that a message box would pop up saying, "1" (for Active) or "2" for Inactive. Any other suggestions? I am not good with VBA so I am pretty lost. thanks Jerry -- Jerry Schutt "Douglas J. Steele" wrote: Try putting the line of code MsgBox Me.InmateStatus in that routine before the If statement.
