OldValue peoperty on controls = Not working if controls have no data or Null

52 New Member
I have these on BeforeUpdate event of a control

If Me.txtAddress.Value <> Me.txtAddress.OldValue Then
Me.txtGenInfo_UpdatedOn = Now
Me.txtGenInfo_UpdatedBy = fOSUserName
gRecordChange1 = True
End If

However the OldValue property does not work if the control or textbox doesn't have value or null. It also does not work in data entry as there is no previous value to check except a null value or blank data. Does any guy knows any workaround on these?

Hi,

So try:

If nz(Me.txtAddress.Value) <> nz(Me.txtAddress.OldValue) Then

:)
