[AccessD] Form Before Update

If you have changed the control then the value in it should be whatever
you changed it to, assuming the AfterUpdate of the control has actually
occurred.  The previous value will be in the OldValue property until the
Form's AfterUpdate event occurs.  The text property of a control is only
available when the control has the focus, so it won't be available from
the command button.   Button clicks can intervene in the normal sequence
of events, so if you change a value in the control and then click a
button without leaving the control, the button click happens first,
before the events of the control you changed.

Thanks for the response... but the event is actually the Form's
BeforeUpdate, I tried txtADE.text but that doesnt work either.  This
whole process occurs from a command button that I use to mark a hidden
textbox w/ a 3, so when it receives the new value, I get the
before_update (on the form) firing.
