Entered Data Disappears from Form

[Guest]

I have a form w/ a text box based on a field in a table. My intent was for
the user to enter data into the form and have it go into the table. When I
tab out of the text box, the entered data disappears off the form. However,
when I check the table, the data is in there. Also, if I switch the form to
design view and then back, the data re-appears. Any ideas how to keep the
data visible?

I think I would check the properties - make sure its set as always visible
and or check the format justification.

It's set to visible, display when = always, format is a general number with
decimal places set to auto.

If you have a single TextBox and nothing else then tabbing out of it is likely
taking you to a new record. You should be able to tell this by looking at the
navigation button area record number. If that number increases by ine when you
tab out then that is what is happening.

You can set the Cycle property of the form to Current Record to stop that
behavior.

Thanks! That worked. I had the nav. buttons turned off because I only
wanted the user to work w/ the current record.
