After Update on ComboBox when setting value

[MDJ52]

I have tried to research this in the forums to no avail, so I decided to just post a new question.
I have a set of 3 combo boxes on a form. Each has a 'after update' function that updates a number of text boxes on the form. I wish to also use the form for lookup where the combo boxes get populated by values that are stored in a history table for the data that came from this form.
My problem is that when I set the values in the combo boxes I would still like them to go ahead and run the code behind the 'after update' condition. If I go in and click the drop down and reproduce what I just set the value in the combo box to, the 'after update' code executes.
Is there a way to execute the 'after update' code with programatically setting the value into the combo boxes?

How about factoring out the code you are talking about into a separate SubRoutine and then call it from the AfterUpdate event of the ComboBoxes. You could then also call these SubRoutines from the Current event of the form which I believe will give you the results you are looking for.
