i have a VB6 frontend to an Access 97 DB. my superiors want me to make the front end to be able to update the output automatically. for example, when you type in a new machine number everything about that machine comes up with out having to hit the next button or the find button. is this possible? i can put the zipped up project as an attachment if need be
Sure... Use the key press events and as each key is pressed, try to receive the record.
um...............i'm not understanding, which keys are you speaking of?
There will obviously be a textbox where the machine name is typed. In the keypress event of the textbox, you can do a check with the database for that machine name and bring up its records.
do you know where i could find an example of this? i don't know about the keypress event. i can do the search(i think) but i donno about the keypress event. thanx for the help
