Function: would calc upon update to variable no longer

I apologize this is probably a dumb question but I really can't see the
problem.

I had a perfectly working form that needed changes. I reduced the number of
objects in it, including text boxes and one tab area.

I have three text boxes in the form. Boxes A, B & C.

Box C does not populate to a table. Boxes A and B do.
Box C takes values from A and B, multiplies them and displays them.
Box C uses the name of textBoxObjectA and textBoxObjectB to do the
calculation.

At one point, an update to Box A or B would change the value in C
automatically.
Now I have to Tab into C to get the new result, if A or B were changed.

Does anyone have a clue why suddenly I have to tab? Makes no sense to me. It
should still be auto.

The only thing that I noticed different about the form is taht a sidebar
(with a little triangle at the top) is now missing after I made the changes.
This sidebar is an Access generated "object." No clue what its purpose is.

Thanks,
pepe
 
The sidebar with the arrow on it is the record selector (i.e. if you look at
a table, you will see many little boxes to the left with that arrow that
allow you to select the entire record, this is the same thing). I honestly
don't know why it was updating before and not now.
