I am trying to populate the contents of a catalog form with the select record from a separate Search form. I am already able to lookup records on the catalog form using VBA code in the AfterUpdate event on a combo box. Is there a way using code to trigger the catalog form's AfterUpdate event from my search form? I have tried createing a dummy field that can act as the catalyst after I SetFocus to it, but I get an error message stating that I can't set focus to that control right now.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Janet
