Automatically displaying text in a form

[Risky Dave]

Hi,

I have a user form that captures information across a set of tabs.

What I would like to do is capture a date entered in one tab and
automatically display this value plus 8 years in a field on a different tab
in the form.

The code I have (embedded into the second tab) is:

Private Sub tb8YO_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
With Me.tb8YO
.Value = tbDoB.Value.DateAdd("yyyy", 8, .Value)
.Text = Format(.Text, "dd-mmm-yy")
End With
End Sub

I assume that this is assigning the correct value to the text box (I'm not
getting any error messages telling me otherwise), but it is not actually
displaying the value (tbDoB.value plus 8 years) in the text box.

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

Dave

Dave, try

Private Sub tb8YO_BeforeUpdate(ByVal Cancel As MSForms.ReturnBoolean)
Me.tb8YO.Text =Format(DateAdd("y",8,Me.tbDoB),"dd-mmm-yy")
End Sub

Jacob,

Thanks for the quick reply. unfortunately, this still isn't working - the
field that should show the date plus 8 years is still blank :-(

1. Check whether this code is getting executed. Place a msgbox and check. I
dont think the code is getting executed; or otherwise it should have given an
error in the first place.

2. Check whether the control names are correct tb8YO.

Where is your TextBox located at... on the worksheet or on a UserForm?

 

[Risky Dave]

Rick the text box is on a user form called from a worksheet by the user
selecting a button.

What I am trying to do is have a field on one tab on the form automatically
populated by a user entry into another text box on a different tab on the form

TIA

Guys,

Just realised I was being stupid!

I was trying to get one txt box to identify a chnage in state in another
one. What I've done is simply have the source (tbDoB) textbox run a couple of
lines to drop the appropriate information into the target textbox (tb8YO)
after an Update Event.

Thanks for your time anyway,

Dave

When you say "tab on the form", are you using a MultiPage or a TabStrip
control (or perhaps something else) to hold your TextBoxes?
