SYMPTOMS

If the record pointer is moved, the value property of a bound control does not appear to update properly.

CAUSE

The value property of a bound control is not refreshed automatically.

RESOLUTION

To refresh a bound control, issue thisform.refresh or trigger the gotfocus method.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

  1. Create a new form.

  2. Add a textbox object as txtget1.

  3. Set the controlsource of the txtget1 to customer.company.

  4. Add a commandbutton object as cmdskip.

  5. In the click method of cmdskip, type:

    SKIP

  6. Save the Form.
