update unbound box

I am trying to create a routine so when a user keys data into a particular
field, that data is displayed in another text box above. I thought I could
simply use the on_change property and routine like txtboxDisplay =
me.frmuserinfo

It updates the first character but then stops. I want it to display as user
types.
I am sure I am missing something simple here. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack
 
The Change event fires with every keystroke. The text being typed into the
field has not yet been accepted as its Value. To refer to the unvalidated
text that is currently in the box, you must use its Text property.

Try:
txtboxDisplay = Me.frmuserinfo.Text
 
PERFECT. Thank you Allen.

Btw. I personally wanted to thank you for all of the posts and articles you
have written. I have learned so much from your writings. You are a definite
asset to this community.
