Assigning value to text box in a form

[brunogrd via AccessMonster.com]

Hello there,

I'm trying to assign a value to a text box.
I thought that would have been pretty easy but I keep getting an error 2448
"You can't assign a value to this object"

This is the simple code that I've been using to do so

Me.txtTotalAmount.Value = "123"

Any idea on what I could modify the codes to make it work?

Thanks,

Bruno.

How about Me.txtTotalAmount = "123"

That doesn't seem to work either...

The name of your control "txtTotalAmount" implies that it is a calculated
control, which might explain why you're having trouble assigning a value to
it. You might want to check to see what the control source is for this
control.

I'm actually calculating the total amount in a variable and would like to
display the value into the txtTotalAmount text box but can not succeed in
doing so. this is the exact code that I'm using

Me.txtTotalAmount = ShipValue

Your error message seems to indicate that there is something about
txtTotalAmount that prevents a value being assigned to it. Look at the
properties sheet for txtTotalAmount and see what is listed as it's control
source. It might have a calculation such as; =([somefield]*[someotherfield]),
or it might be bound directly to a field in the table, an that field is not
able to have a value assigned.

Also, is there a reason you are performing your calculation in code an then
trying to assign the result to txtTotalAmount, instead of placing the
calculation directly in the control? There are reasons why you might need to
do this, but if you post this info, it may help the responders in this group
to solve your problem.

Is the text box bound to a query or table column?

Oups ...This is correct....
I've removed the expression into the property text box field which reverted
it to unbound and now it works as intented.

Thanks for the advise.

Which means the query (probably not a table) was such that the field could
not be changed... Bob
