Much simplified combo box/text box issue 1

[etalent]

As suggested in a response, I've attempted to simplify my issue with this post. The best way I can come up with to simplify is just to assume you have downloaded my database and are looking at it. It's only 95 KB. I skip all the "education" and go right to inputs, desired outputs, logic criteria, etc.

Refer to form "frmVerbs," which has the following controls on it: 12 text boxes, 2 combo boxes.

The whole problem is threefold: (1) enter text in the first 4 text boxes, (2) select from either the combo box labled "Conjugacion" on the page labeled "Espanol" or the combo box labeled "Conjugasao" on the page labeled "Portuguese" to set the values of the text boxes on the pages labeled "Espanol" and "Portuguese," (3) Click the page labeled "Kreyol" and enter text in the two text boxes. That's it.

Here is a specific example of what should happen:

1. Click the new record button, labeled >* at the bottom of the form.
2. Enter "to walk" in the text box labeled "English." Enter "andar" in the text box labled "Spanish" and in the text box labeled "Portuguese." Enter "mache" in the text box labeled "Kreyol."

At this point the 3 text boxes on the page labeled "Espanol" and the 3 text boxes on the page labeled "Portuguese" should be blank. The two text boxes on the page labeled "Kreyol" should also be blank at this point.

5. Click the combo box labeled "Conjugacion" on the page labeled "Espanol." Select "hablar." OR click the combo box labeled "Conjugasao" on the page labeled "Portuguese." Select "falar."

Now the values of the 3 text boxes on the page labeled "Espanol" should be set as follows...

The text box labeled "Present Participle" should have the value "hablando"
The text box labeled "Past Participle" should have the value "hablado"
The text box labeled "Imperative" should have the value "hable"

The values of the 3 text boxes on the page labeled "Portuguese" should be set as follows...

The text box labeled "Present Participle" should have the value "falando"
The text box labeled "Past Participle" should have the value "falado"
The text box labeled "Imperative" should have the value "fale"

6. Click the page labeled "Kreyol." The two text boxes should be blank at this point.
7. In the text box labeled "Kreyol Expression" enter "mache expression placeholder"
8. In the text box labeled "English Interpretation" enter "to walk expression placeholder"

END

You have described a rather convoluted sequence of operations.

Well and good ... but what's the problem exactly?

Do the described responses not happen? Where does the expected result fail to happen? What does happen instead?

did you get the errors solved? I've been unable to determine what might be causing them as of yet, but I've also been reasonably busy lately, so I've had a lack of time to go through them.

Golom,

The problem is that the form doesn't function as I want it to. Please open the form if you haven't and try to follow through the steps as I've provided again here. The crucial (nonfunctioning) step is #5. I'm not even worrying about step #6 yet, but it doesn't work either.

-Thanks again

8. In the text box labeled "English Interpretation" enter "to walk expression placeholder"

Golom,

I apologize if my last response doesn't clarify sufficiently. Please let me know. I really need to get this database fixed.

Thanks,
