I'm trying to get Access (Office 2003) to only create a new field in a form when the previous field has had information entered into it. (I realize that this will probably leave me with a blank field at the end, but this is for personal use, so i'm not really all that concerned with it.)
It's partly just for personal learning and partly a project to help me in looking for Grad schools (I'm also up for recommendations for schools with M.S. (networking/security) in or around NYC! ^_^ ) some colleges have 8 pre-reqs with 15 reqired courses and some have 5 pre-reqs and 20 courses... so I'd rather just have 1 empty box than 50... I had it in a memo before... but i tried to print a few, and it just didnt work as some of the notes in the fields are just too long...
I got as far in Access as in 'Properties' -> 'Event' -> 'After Update' (which I took to mean, after 'updating' or populating the field... am I wrong here?) which took me to a VB editor and now i'm stuck at:
Private Sub Text145_AfterUpdate()
End Sub
unfort, I don't know if it is done a better way, or if this is the best way then where to look to code this sort of thing since the languages I studied years ago were TruBasic, C++, and Java...
