Take action after entry in a textbox (or after tabbing out of/into it)

[Lost!]

Hi all,

I have a userform with some text boxes, and I want one of them to be grayed out depending on the entry in the one before it. If the user types "FL" in the first box, I want the second to be disabled. The trouble is that I want it to check this after the entry in the first box is made and while the userform is still up.

How do I make it happen after the entry is made? It would also work if I could make it happen upon tabbing out of the box or into another. Here's the code I'm trying:


Private Sub txtFee_Change()
'grays out the fee box if txtState = FL
If txtState = "FL" Then
txtFee.Enabled = False
Else: txtFee.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub


This code is fine and works for graying out, but only if the txtState = "FL" at initialization. I want it to work right when FL is entered.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

To acomplish what you need intead of

Try

Private Sub txtFee_AfterUpdate()
'grays out the fee box if txtState = FL
If txtState = "FL" Then
txtFee.Enabled = False
Else: txtFee.Enabled = True
End If
End Sub

In design mode double click the txtFee Text Box and insert the modified code.
If it works invite us to Florida
