AfterUpdate Vs. onLostFocus

[aw23]

What is the difference between AfterUpdate and onLostFocus?
I'm continuing a project using someone elses code. They coded on AfterUpdate and it doesn't seem to always work so I was going to try OnLostFocus.

Thanks

It has been my limited experience that AfterUpdate is more suited for combo boxes and the like. LostFocus seems to be more for areas where someone is going to be typing something in. Like I said, however, this has just been my experience. I recently used LostFocus for a textbox where it would convert all the text to UCase when the user was done typing something. Hasn't failed yet. Hopefully that statement didn't jinx me.

How are ya aw23 . . . . .

I'm [blue]not so sure you should move the code to the Lost Focus event[/blue]. You could be right, but in general, I doubt it. If you [blue]post the code[/blue] and [blue]explain what happens[/blue] when it doesn't work, we should be able to get ya on track.

In form design view, if you put the cursor on any property line and hit F1, you can read all about it!

See Ya! . . . . . .

Thanks, I figured out the problem. I think it was probably unrealted to the event although in the end I did use OnLostFocus.
