Update Form after Field entry Question

X

xsmileyx

Ok, I've been slogging through my first database and have been able to
get just about everything to work. What I need to know is if there is
a way for me to update the form after entering data in a specific
field. I have a single form database that is using images (ImagXpress)
along with data and I would like to see the image after I put in the
image name instead of leaving the record and coming back. Is there a
way to do this or am I stuck with the alternative? All images are
located at a URL address which ImageXpress looks up when I use the
Form_Current command. Should I use Form_AfterUpdate instead? I am
such a noob. Thanks in advance.

Simply Requery the control with the image in the AfterUpdate event of
the specific control on the form. E.g.

Private Sub txtMyTextbox_AfterUpdate()
Me!imgMyImage.Requery
End Sub
