Passing Values

[adjoe]

I want to pass a value to a field called txtpatient_v_irbnumber, depending on the value of a field called txtpatient_v_protocol, this is what I did.

In the refresh method of field txtpatient_v_protocol
I entered

ThisForm.txtPatient_v_irbnumber.Refresh()
RETURN DODEFAULT()

and in the refresh method of field txtpatient_v_irbnumber
I entered

ThisForm.txtpatient_v_irbnumber.Value = protocol.irbnumber

The value is passed correctly but it only refreshes when I save.
How can I make it refresh as soon as I enter the value in
txtpatient_v_protocol?

Thanks

Did you try putting your code in the 'Programmatic Change' event?

Or, in the Interactive Change event.

In my base classes, I have InteractiveChange and ProgrammaticChange BOTH call a custom method, AnyChange: That's where I'd put this code.

Or, (and this Really is my preference), I'd have the txtPatient_v_irbnumber.ControlSource=THISFORM.nIrbNumber and txtpatient_v_protocol.ControlSource=THISFORM.cProtocol, then create a custom method on the form named cProtocol_Assign, and in that method have code assigning a value to THISFORM.nIrbNumber, then call THISFORM.txtPatient_v_irbNumber.Refresh
