Bob, thanks so much for all your help! It works!!! Fantastic stuff, thank you!! Andrew

Apologies for making a mountain out of the proverbial molehill! All I want is - on Monday morning, to open the "Monday" form. As I enter each 3 digit ID number followed by a CR/tab, it ticks the 'monday' box of that child's record on the details form, and returns the curser to the combo box for...

Here's my latest attempt. Still creating new records. Probably followed your advice wrong! https://www.dropbox.com/s/f88yw992ii74giv/DB3.accdb Apologies!

Ah I see what it's doing now at the bottom of the table. Not really what I'm after, as I want the "Monday" tick to appear beside the same of the person who's ID I type in.

Bob, Yes i agree the entity structures aren't the best, it was a database which evolved and was created under time pressure, i would like to rewrite it some day if i get a chance! As for now, I just need it to work :) You said records are now being added to details table? Strange, in mine when...

Tried that, this now happening: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3hu70tyodu8753/DB2.accdb Thanks, Andrew

Ah yes. So now getting this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/6fr42ob1nehxj0e/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-16%20at%2012.57.06.png When I debug: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yskcz2xxck3j5pz/Screen%20Shot%202014-06-16%20at%2012.56.20.png

https://www.dropbox.com/s/eqk4c18axq1ia0f/DB.accdb It's the "Monday" form I've been working on. If I can get it to work, then I can duplicate and the necessary code for the other days. Thanks A

Great - think I'm finally getting somewhere! So now when I enter a three digit child number, it jumps to the correct record, and moves the cursor back to the combo box, but still doesn't tick the "present" box? Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I can upload a copy of the DB if that would help...

Thanks for this, That sounds like what I need. Unfortunately I've no idea how to do this! Any ideas or as to where I could find this? Andy

Thanks for your reply. Yes, you assume correctly. However its Tab Stop is already set to no. Once the number is entered, you tab once to jump to the "present" tick box (which is checked and the record saved through Got_Focus [see attached picture of code in original post]) then you tab again...

Greetings all. I'm revising a database I made last year, but want to simplify a couple of things! Without boring you with too many details - it's a registration database and the form I'm fixing is the "daily sign-in" form (it's for registering children at a conference over number of days)...

Hello, I'm using a barcode scanner to enter ID numbers into a combo box on a form.. I've got it to do this much - scan the barcode, and then the form loads the relevant record. Great - now I want, that when a barcode is scanned, it makes the next field the 'live' field (the one with the cursor...

Sorry for delay - brilliant - works like a charm!! Thanks a mill - any thoughts on my other thread? Head's wrecked with it lol!

Ok, I'm keen to make it work with best practice incase something goes wrong! Here's a link to my database: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x17q79ulidpynee/SummerFire.accdb The form in question is "Saturday Registration" (there will be one made for each day) The DB is flat file (everything is in...

Ok, so I appear to have got everything (nearly) working - but the form is open in edit mode. So how would it specific a GoTo record? (Say even the first record in the 'details' table?)

That's great, got that to work! Now, the conference starts on a saturday, and runs to thursday - what would I need to change? Also - people can sign up on the Friday night, but obviously I don't want any box ticked (as they could potentially sign up - but never attend!) how would this be...

Hello, I'm currently making a signup form for a 6day event. Certain details are taken (Name, Age, Contact no etc). I also have a registration form; so when someone comes back for the second day of the event I tick the 'saturday' checkbox, or 'monday', or whatever the day is... When someone...

So here's what I've got: Using your code, i still have to type in the number then hit enter. Only then when i type 3 digits does it check the box. I want this all to happen in one go? Also ... I don't understand the DoCmd.GoToRecord... line, as in what I should finish it with? Sorry, I'm...

Hi, reading your code - I'm not sure it does exactly what I want - I want the checkbox to be ticked be solely typing three digits (no requirement to carriage return/enter after data entry).
