How to trigger AfterUpdate when value is alreay in the field?

[petko]

Hi,

I'm in need of some input very much in the following matter.
Given forms A and B, user works in form A and as a result of his process a field value fldCopyFrom in form A is copied into fldCopyTo in form B. Focus is set on form B so the user can go on here with his work with the copied value.
However fldCopyTo has a code that is to run on AfterUpdate event. My problem is that I don't know how to trigger the AfterUpdate event when the value is already in the fldCopyTo. If I press Enter or tab, the focus simply goes on without triggering the event.

I appreciate any idea in this matter.

If you don't change the value the event isn't fired, then put the code in another event, ex. the OnExit event.

Quite simple and easy.. but seems to be working.
Thanks!
