populate text box

[DeanO]

I have a main form with tabs. I need to automate the placement of info in a text box to a text box on a form when that tab is selected. I have tried
Me ! txtgear1 = Me ! txtgear
This just created more problems.

I'm afraid you're going to have to take the time to explain your problem a litttle more clearly! Is the second textbox you want to populate, on a tabbed page, on a subform on that page, or simply on the page?

The second text box is on form that is called to the tab by selecting it from a combo box. The original text box is filled automatically and I need the same info repeated in the second form. My fellow workers are having a problem copying the info into the text box even with a mask.

Logically your request is against normalization rules as it's creating redundant data. You'll need to have a good reason to do this, as it can cause trouble.

When the other field is basically the same field in the table you can refer to that field by posting it twice on the same form, but in general this type of fields is placed outside the tab so it's always visible.

Can you elaborate on the reason for having this field duplicated?

And actually, if you have to have it appear on each page (my pages sometimes take up the entire screen) simply place the control on top of the topmost tabbed page without first selecting a single page; this will result in it showing on each page.
