I have this code (and it works OK):

Code:
Private Sub TextBox1_GotFocus()
   
    searchTerm = InputBox("Enter your ticket number here.")
    
    If Trim(Left((searchTerm), 3)) = "PKE" Then
        
        TextBox1.Value = "PKE000000" & Right((searchTerm), 6)
    
    Else
    
        TextBox1.Value = "PBI000000" & Right((searchTerm), 6)
    
    End If
 
    
End Sub

And once it runs through, the macro to perform a search of whatever is inserted to that textbox fires off just fine.

But I'd really prefer a way to simply have the MsgBox go away and the trim and concatenate fire off as soon as I put the search term in the textbox. Any thoughts?
