Have you guys seen peter answer website, I'm trying to do the same in ms access does anyone know how I can do it. Thanks. I want to create a text box and in the text box, i want to type the answer but I want the text box to automatically type some thing else visually!!!!!!

You could use the textbox KeyPress event to change the keystroke actually typed.

 

[mr moe]

Here is the trick. after you type Peter, "after the comma type period" then type your answer" while typing your answer, it shows that your typing something different. then when you click on show me answer, the value which didn't show will be displayed. are you confused yet?

I don't even understand what you are asking.

If you want what I think you want, make a table with a bunch of inane answers. Use the on change command and throw an Instr command in there to make sure you typed "Peter tell me I'm wasting my time:", if it is there, enable the second text box to enter your question, check for the question mark like you did for the first box, then after you click the submit, use a random number generator to grab a record from the inane answer table, and then change the label or text box you want the answer to be written in to have the value taken from the table.

If that's what you want it seems pretty simple.

LOL i'm so sorry that you're misunderstanding me. This is not what i'm talking about. listen go to the website above, and type Peter,. make sure you type peter,. then see what happens. The trick here is like a magic, you have someone sits next to you, you tell him/her look at something and see how peter will answer it, when you type peter,. you type the real answer but while your typing the other person see something else "please answer the following question.... Man my english sucks I know that, just do me and yourself a favor, go to the above link and in the Insert petition: just type peter,. then type something. please do it. If this is the first time you need to click on " I Accept". bye

I have no clue what you are seeing, nothing happens after I enter a comma.

 

[mr moe]

after you type a comma, you should type a period and then watch what happens after you type something!!! First time doing it you have to type accept above

 

[mr moe]

Anyone tried this!!!

 

[deBassMan]

yeah I've tried it ...

seems you enter Peter,. (note the comma and the full stop) and keep typing anthing and it displays:

Peter, please answer the following question:

mr moe - it's no biggie - just capture the onkeypress event and insert each char in a string.

good luck

The thing with this is that after the full stop, anything you type is saved somewhere, while it shows that your typing "please answer the following question:" have you tried doing it in access?
