Where did the SetValue action go?

[hubba]

I recently installed Office 2007 on my computer, including Access. I have a
control on a form, a combo box, that is, set the value to spaces for the Lost
Focus event. I want to use the macro builder to set the value. When I list
the available actions by clicking the down arrow in the 'Action' column in
the macro builder, I do not see the SetValue action listed. What gives? Is
there some add-in that I need to include or something I needed to do during
the installation that allows me to insert the SetValue action into a macro.
There is nothing I can find in the help system that addresses this. As a
matter of fact, it has instructions on how to use the SetValue action. What
am I missing here?

Hi Tina, nice to see you too!

Abandon?? Heck no, I'm an Access Junkie; I can't stay away.

I don't have as much time available to answer questions as I used to, but I'm around, trust me. ;-)

Hi Jeff,

Thank you so much for the answer. I haven't used Access for a couple of
years and wasn't aware of this change to the macro builder and the means to
activate the full list of actions. By the way, I'm impressed with your
website.
