After Update on Form Controls in Microsoft Access

In this episode, we're going to take a quick look at the all important After Update control event that allows you to perform an action after a user updates a text box, combo box, list box, or other control. This event is super important and is one of the most used events for front-end programming, because it allows your application to respond as a user is working on your form. Note: This is NOT a data macro like we explored in an earlier episode.

How do we populate automatically several columns at the same time without typing when selecting or typing a value in another column. Example if I dismiss a client on the Dismissal column as Yes or a dismissal date, then other other columns Start Treatment column as Yes, Eligible to Treatment as Yes, Accepted Treatment as Yes. Because when the client is dismissed or completed treatment the other columns should be Yes obviously. So it would avoid a lot repetitive typing and wasting time. Thank you for your generous education.
