afterupdate problem

[banza]

Hello Access friends,
I have an unbound date field named txtDate with the following afterUpdate event.
When I manually write the date the AfterUpdate works fine but does not work (the lblStock field doesn't get the value in the txtDate field) when I populate the txtDate field from a pop up calendar.
What is the problem with the code?
Thanks in advance for pointing me to the right direction.

Private Sub Form_Current()
Me.lblStock.Caption = "Stock at " & Me.txtDate
End Sub

Private Sub txtDate_AfterUpdate()
Me.lblStock.Caption = "Stock at " & Me.txtDate
End Sub

I could be wrong but I don't think the AfterUpdate event fires when you change the control programatically. Use the Exit or LostFocus event instead.

the lostfocus event

thanks Ruralguy, the lostfocus event solved it.
