On updated event does not fire

[Ben2k]

I have a calendar 10.0 control on my form, for the On Updated event I have the following code.

Private Sub Calendar9_Updated(Code As Integer)
' when new date is selected update delivery date textbox
Dim newdeldate As Date
newdeldate = Calendar9.Value
MsgBox (newdeldate)
DateOfDelivery.SetFocus
DateOfDelivery.Text = newdeldate
End Sub

When I select a date on the calendar nothing happens, the event is not firing for some reason. How can I fix it?

Try using the Click event of the Calendar control.

BTW

Where did you get the control from?

I downloaded your database and it wasn't the standard calendar control.

It doesn't have an on click, all it has are

On updated
On enter
On exit
On got focus
On lost focus

I'm not sure where it came from, it was just in the list when you click more controls called CalendarVB. It wouldn't work on any other PC's just mine, that's why i'm using the Microsoft Calender 10.0 one now.

i'm using the Microsoft Calender 10.0

I take it that has On_Click?

 

[Ben2k]

No On_Click, just the ones I mentioned

On updated
On enter
On exit
On got focus
On lost focus

Quite strange really?

Try going to the code editor and check to see if it has one.

i.e. in the top left dropdown select the control and in the right dropdown all it's events will be listed

Ah I see, yes it does and its working now.

Wonder what the On_Updated event is for then?

Thanks for your help.

I've managed to make a lot of progress now with my database now. I was able to get the information I wanted onto the form by using DLookup

If you want I can take a look at your database.

I did previously download it but that took ages.

Could you send me a zipped copy?

Thanks for offer but like I said I think i'll be okay now, if I get stuck i'll zip it and mail it to you.
