PRB: OnDblClick Macro Requires CancelEvent to Change Focus
'Article ID: Q90115

Creation Date: 08-OCT-1992

Revision Date: 19-SEP-1996' The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft Access versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The macro action GotoControl does not successfully change the focus to another control if the macro is attached to the OnDblClick property of a text box, list box, or combo box.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the second click of a double-click is not processed until after the event is completed. The second click on the same field forces Microsoft Access to return the focus to that field.

RESOLUTION

To prevent the second click in the double-click from being processed, add a CancelEvent action to the macro after the GotoControl action.

STATUS

This behavior no longer occurs in Microsoft Access version 2.0.
