Hi all,
i am still new to access and VBA, so i might have missed the simplest thing... anyway

i am looking to have an event take place when the next or previous record is selected

i would like to do this without creating my own navigation buttons.

thought maybe a On DoCmd.GoToRecord , , acNext then do something

any help would be much appreciated

cheers

What exactly are you trying to do with the code? What events will trigger the code? Are you using a form, report or table? Etc.

I have a form that has option buttons on it, the options are Quote, Order, Site Visit and Dead Lead. i have a hidden field called Conversion which equals in text the option that is checked eg. Quote option is checked, conversion = "Quote". (This is all done by Code) The problem is when i select say the prvious record that had Order selected, Quote is now checked, though conversion field still says "Order"... So what i am trying to do is have an event when the previous record is selected Conversion field is checked and the relative option button is changed to match..

i hope this makes sence

You want to check the value of your field and change the availability of buttons using the ON CURRENT event.

Is this an option group? If so, these are radio buttons.

I would suggest putting a field in your table tied to the option group so that the option group can read the number of the option selected when you scroll to that record, and if you need some text, then you can do the conversion yourself based on the number value in the option field.

This way the option group will automatically read its proper value, and you won't have to code and recode for the text value.

Thanks for all your help,
The ON CURRENT event seems to be working fine.

thanks again
