Control Will Not Update

How do I get a control to update in a form without closing the form and
re-opening it? It used to work fine before I converted the DB to 2007.
Basically, a user keys in an item number, and I would like the item
description control to populate after they move out of the item control
field. The source for the form is a select query. Any help would be
appreciated.

The only thing that has change in this regard between Access 2003 (or
earlier) and Access 2007 is that VBA code doesn't run in Access 2007 unless
you explicitly enable it or put the database in a trusted location (as
established in the Trust Center settings).

Could that be the problem? Is the description being set by VBA code?
 
It is not set by VBA code...the control source for the "description" field is
just "SKU Desc" which is a field in the source query.

Please post the SQL of the form's recordsource, and the name, type, and
Control Source properties of each relevant control. If a control is a combo
box, please also post its Row Source, Bound Column, and Column Count
properties.
 
Below is the SQL from the source...the relevant controls are as follows..

Name: SKU #
Type: Text Box
Countrol Source: SKU #

Name: SKU Description
Type: Text Box
Countrol Source: SKU Desc

There is a combo box, but I don't think it is relevant to the problem.

I'm puzzled. I don't see any reason why that query wouldn't do the
"autolookup" that comes in so handy. A test query that I made, which also
involves two left joins in a similar fashion, works fine in Access 2007;
likewise a form that I based on the query.

Would you be interested in sending me a copy of your database to look at?
If so, you can send it to the address derived by removing NO SPAM and
".invalid" from the reply address of this message. If that address isn't
visible to you, you can get my address from my web site, which is listed in
my sig. Do *not* post my real address in the newsgroup -- I don't want to
be buried in spam and viruses. It would be best if you could make a
cut-down copy of the database, containing just the elements necessary to
demonstrate the problem, compact the copy, and and zip it for sending.
 
Yes...it is strange. It workd fine before I converted it to 2007. Note that
the main table in the query is in a backend database which is still in an
older version of Access. I have sent a trimmed down version of the database.

Thanks again.
