Comparing two fields and output message

[Javes]

Hello,

One of the professionals helped me with a code below but
it doesn't seem to work...nothing shows up, all 3 fields
are unbound....I would like to know if someone has a code
for a field I want to compare: IF Textbox1 is EQUAL to
Textbox2 THAN Textbox3 will display Textbox1 Total OR IF
they are not equal THAN it will display a
message "UNBALANCED"

I suck at coding, I placed this code in the Event
BeforeUpdate and it doesn't give any errors but nothing
shows up:

If Me!Textbox1 = Me!textbox2 then
Me!Textbox3 = Me!Textbox1
Else
Me!Textbox3 = "Unbalanced"
End IF

Please HELP!!!!
Thanks for all that continue to support me.

the code is correct - you've got it in the wrong place

you can put the code in the AfterUpdate event for both text box1 and text box 2. This will cause the code to run everytime you change the value in either text box 1 or text box 2

hope this helps
