Difficulty with combo box selection TO keep cursor focus

My original problem was solved by Bruce Dodds (Thanks!!)

ORIGINAL PROBLEM
I have developed an application for data enty for daily production in
my factory.

I have one combo box for shifts and second combo box for the "machine
names".
the third field on the form is the "production reading of the
machine".

My problem is that I want to enter data in the text field without
selecting the value for subsequent machines from the Machine name
combo box. When I select first machine on the start of data entry I go
to text field and enter the value. For subsequent entries I dont want
to select machines but want them to sequentially get selected and I
only enter data in text field for next machine.

I have only four fields in my Production table
Slno. number
shiftname text
machinename text
productionreadi ng number
I have a separate table for machine name from where I populate the
combo box.
NEW ASSOCIATED PROBLEM:
I need to know How I can keep the focus on the machine name
automatically selected. Right now I don't know which machine is
currently selected as the cursor always remains in the production entry
(Text box).
Is there some work around on this...

I have a combo box look up and list items in a table, it is not bound. It works fine but how can I prevent the users from entering in there own data? i have an 'on change' event that when it changes, it does something else to a field based on their selection. I also have the LimitTOList on, but when they click in there, they get an error first that says the 2110-focus cannot move the focus to this control. (I have the .setfocus

I posted this earlier... or thought I did... anyway.. it's doesn't appear in the list so I'm reposting it. Can someone please explain to me how to set up the lostfocus event for a combo box. I need the combo to return to its default value when the user clicks away from it ... either somewhere on the form itself or another app. I have no clue how to do this and would really appreciate some help. Thanks!

I want to set things up such that a section of code will have been executed by the time one clicks on the drop down arrow on a combo box control. Currently, that section of code resides in the OnGetFocus event of the combo box control, and this appears to work...I'm guessing because one cannot click on the drop down arrow of a combo box control without first having the combo box control receive focus. But I noticed that the code gets...

I have a "Yes/No" combo box (set to required) and I want the focus to shift to differnet controls (on the same form) based on the selection of "Yes" or "No". Would this have to be placed on the "Exit" event? I tried Google...and no luck. I'm sure there's gonna be an "If" statement involved. TIA, -Orv Access2003

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
