i am trying to setup a couple of msgbox routines to check on 2 different items.
ITEM 1
- using the following text boxes on form [Input Data form].
[Uptime] [Downtime]
I am using the following code (in the Downtime_lostfocus event) to determine
if the msgbox should work or not

Dim dblDownTime As Double
Dim dblUpTime As Double
Dim dblTotalTime As Double
dblUpTime = UpTime
dblDownTime = DownTime
dblTotalTime = dblUpTime + dblDownTime
If dblTotalTime > 8 Then
MsgBox "The total hours of uptime and downtime " & Chr(13) & _
" cannot exceed 8 hours.", vbOKOnly + vbCritical
DownTime.SetFocus
End If

currently i can get the msgbox to pop up, but i want the focus to return to
downtime box after user hits the ok button. right now it just moves on to the
next box.

Item 2
- using the following text boxes on form [Input Data form].
[Defect1_Quantity] [Defect2_Quantity] [Defect3_Quantity] [Other]
[txtTotalDefects] - is a sum of the previous 4 textboxes that updates on
each of the previous four text box's lost_focus() event.
[ScrapPercentage] - has the following code as the Data Control Source.
=IIf([totalpartsran]=0,0,(([txttotaldefects]/[totalpartsran])*100))
[txtComments]
I am trying to use the following for getting a message box to pop up to let
the user know they need to fill in the [txtComments] box on the same form,
then send the focus to the [txtComments] box.
If ScrapPercentage > 2 And txtComments = "" Then
MsgBox "You have a Scrap Percentage greater than 2. " & Chr$(13) & _
"Please add a Comment to the Comment box.", vbOKOnly
txtComments.SetFocus
End If
i've tried to use the previous code in the [ScrapPercentage] box's
afterupdate event, and on each of the defect#_quantity boxes lostfocus
events, as well as the add record command button's gotfocus event.

any help with either of these items would be appreciated. thanks.
 
i've been able to figure out item 1. i changed the code to this
Dim dblDownTime As Double
Dim dblUpTime As Double
Dim dblTotalTime As Double
dblUpTime = UpTime
dblDownTime = DownTime
dblTotalTime = dblUpTime + dblDownTime
If dblTotalTime > 8 Then
MsgBox "The total hours of uptime and downtime " & Chr(13) & _
" cannot exceed 8 hours.", vbOKOnly + vbCritical
Cancel = True
DownTime.Undo
End If
and put it in the DownTime_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) event

i still need help with item 2. thanks
 
Hi JK,

have you tried this line for item 2...

'calculate ScrapPercentage
If (me.[ScrapPercentage] > 2) And Isnull(me.[txtComments]) Then
MsgBox "You have a Scrap Percentage greater than 2. " & Chr$(13) & _
"Please add a Comment to the Comment box.", vbOKOnly
me.[txtComments].SetFocus
Exit Sub
Else
' move to whatever field is next in line
Me.[txtnextfield].setfocus
End If

Put this code on the GotFocus event of the next field that gets the focus,
once your input fields are completed
