How Do You Populate A Bound TextBox With Text From an Unbound TextBox

[gcoaster]

Hello *.*

Can someone please help, after hours and hours I am turning for help..

I have 4 fields that are unbound on a form.
img1 img2 img3 img4

When these are entered they are all combined and autofill another unbound textbox = imagename

SIMPLE?
what i would like to do is from this unbound textbox 'imagename'

i would like to populate a textbox that IS bound called FileName

i have tried EVERYTHING, well almost everything!

Am I Close?
[Event Procedure]

Private Sub imagename_Click()
Me.imagename = Me.FileName
End Sub

You are close, but you need to switch the order of your control names. When assigning a value to something, the something that is getting changed goes on the left side of the equals sign and the new value goes on the right side. So if you are wanting your FileName textbox to equal what is in the ImageName textbox (which is what I believe you are trying to do), then you would need to write it like this:

Me.FileName = Me.ImageName

Hello,
Oh wow, I figured it out after 2 days,.. I fixed it than stared at the screen for a minute and uttered 'Seriously?'

i had to go to FILE than enable content, it was a security setting protecting me against myself i guess...

No Warnings, No Hints why Event Procedures would not work.

they just plain did not work..

Thanks a lot microsoft!!!!!!!!!!!! No wonder i mysteriously abandoned access years ago and tried to do everything in excel! ;-0


thank you Seth

That isn't one of the things that popped into my mind. I'm not sure that I would have thought of that one. Glad you got it to work.
