Drag and Drop Switch

[Joel]

I have Drag and Drop working for my forms, but is there a way to switch the
values in the 2 textboxes when you drop n drag?

EX:

tbOne = 1 tbTwo = 2 after drag and drop from tbTwo to tbOne would normaly
be tbOne = 2 and tbTwo = 2.

I would like it to do this;

tbOne =1 tbTwo =2 after drag and drop from tbTwo to tbOne
tbOne -2 and tbTwo = 1

Thanks!

Hi, Joel.

No. However, two bound text box values could be swapped with each other as
the result of an event, such as a button being selected. For example:

Private Sub SwapBtn_Click()

On Error GoTo ErrHandler

Me!txtOne.Value = Me!txtTwo.Value
Me!txtTwo.Value = Me!txtOne.OldValue

Exit Sub

ErrHandler:

MsgBox "Error in SwapBtn_Click( )." & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
"Error #" & Err.Number & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & Err.Description
Err.Clear

End Sub

Thanks for your reply.
I didnt know there was a function .OldValue in Access.

I didnt know there was a function .OldValue in Access.

The OldValue Property of a control is generally used for "undo" operations
on a field, but there are other uses as well.

It may be worth pointing out that only bound controls have an OldValue
property. For unbound controls, you have to store the previous value
yourself.
