Unhide fields and make it "required" on basis on text box update

So where do I insert Call txt2_AfterUpdate ? Sorry, but this may look
stupid to you. I am not getting it though

Your 3rd reply was:
| Sorry to bother Allen, but the txt2 us updated on the basis of
| a combo selection, should i do an afterupdate for the cbo ?

Therefore I assume that you need to use:
Call txt2_AfterUpdate
in the AfterUpdate event of the combo that updates txt2.

Before you do that, make sure you have the code working, i.e. check that you
get the desired results when you update txt2 manually by typing a value into
the field.

Once you have that working, and the combo's AfterUpdate as well, you may
also need to add that line to the Current event of the form, but please take
it one step at a time. Otherwise it's too difficult to debug.

Thanks Allen, I am getting it if I manually type it into the txt2 box,
but no matter what I do, it is not happening any other way, if I place
it on after update of the combo, or even put it on form current.

Okay: if it is working when you type into the box, the code is working.

Now, is that combo itself updated programmatically?
Is it's AfterUpdate event actually firing?
Can you add this line to the event procedu
Stop
and then press F8 to step through the code a trace what's running?

Hi I am sorry for all the trouble Allen, I got it. Finally realised
that the combo which I used for after update was linked to an another
combo, so I am now getting it okay.

Thank you for the help !!!
