Fill text box from bound text box

[Guest]

I have a bound text box on a record. When the record is changed so does the
info in the bound textbox sometimes. I want another unbound textbox to
display some info to the user when the bound text box changes info. Do I
reference the table/form/column in the bound text box to get this to work?

Thanks,

Maybe. Explain what exactly you want to happen. Your question is kind of
vague.

This code works:

If [Grade] = "5" Then
MsgBox "help"
End If

As soon as I refernce txtGoal.text I get an error that I can't do that
unless the field has focus. I want my cbo to have focus cause making choices
there changes the grade field. When that happens I want to display a message
in txtGoal.text.

Figured it out:

This works:


If [Grade] = "5" Then
Me![txtGoal] = "30"
End If
