When on field changes - so does the other

Hi again guys.

I'm havin' a raving nightmare with a 'quotations' form...been working on it for over a week now. Too complicated to explain the whole thing, although the idea should be simple...it's a sales form that doesn't allow changes to the stocklevel (or prices) of the products table.

I'm having serious difficulty getting a field to change to match another. So, I have a field from a table, and an unbound control that I need to contain the same data....should be simple no? It works until the data changes, then no amount of requerying seems to get the unbound box to change its contents.

Can someone show me the correct syntax, or another way perhaps?

Help!

Stonward.

Ummm, incidentally,

Everything was working just fine, until I realised that my Quotations subform wasn't a data entry form. This meant that when the form came across a product it had 'seen' before, it opened the previous record as opposed to a new one. Once i made the subform a data entry one I got all sorts of added hassles.

For example, my Price field won't fill in until I've moved the focus to the(next)record ...

Ha ha! Me again. Sorry 'bout this.

I have TWO quote forms, one for TRADE one for RETAIL. Would you believe it - the retail one is working (well, the bit I've asked for help with). I'm gonna print it all out and discover the differences.

Any advice would be swallowed!

Thanks.

It sounds like your problem has to do with the event triggering this change.

However, we can't really help unless we can see some code.

Does anyone know if there is a way to track changes in a text field like word does? I am using a SQL2000 database and can use either VB.Net or Access. The field is either ntext or Varchar. I would like to show users the changes other users have made to a text field using a other font or font color. Thanks

In a regular html form, when user press "enter" key, the form will be submitted. However, in ASP.NET web form, a form will only be submitted (post back) when a special button is clicked. Many user get used to click "enter" key to submit a form. How can I use "enter" key to submit/postback in ASP.NET. Thank, Guoqi Zheng

I ran afoul of this Compiler error CS1612 recently, when trying to modify a Point, which I had made have a property.
