unbound text box oldvalues?

[jofet]

is there a way i could get the old value of an unbound text box?

for example: there's a value in the unbound text box and i changed it, how do i get the previous value of that text box?

One way to do it is to create a function that saves the control's value in the control's tag property.

Private sub SaveValue(ctl as control)

ctl.tag = ctl.value

end sub

you can call this sub when you open the form, passing the control into it. This would hold the "old" value of the control until you close the form or decide to call the sub again.

Hope that helps

You can also use the OldValue property of a control which stores the original value of a control until changes are committed to disk. Look it up in help for more detail, it's quite effective.
