Unbound Texbox Buffer?

[hbsclaims]

Is there an easier way to retrieve data from an unbound textbox during entry?
Currently I am building a variable after each keypress, however, keypresses
such as backspace, del, ins. cause problems for the filter that I build after
each keypress.

What about After Update on the textbox for validation? If the info is
incorrect you can set focus back to to it.

That will not work in this situation, because I am building a filter as the
user is entering data that is applied to a subform.

The text box's Change event fires with each keystroke that changes the
displayed value of the text box. In that event, you can get the control's
..Text property, which holds the text currently typed in, even before the
text box's .Value property has been updated.
