First of all, you need the right test on DoneBy; I've made the assumption that you have a textbox, txtDoneBy, which holds that value. Second, you need both pieces in strCriteria, and your second line simply drops the DoneBy part and replaces it. Also, you cannot test something "= Null", use the IsNull() function.

But this is not working below. Basically, when i scan the "Doneby" field, I want it to look in that field to see if there is a value in it. IF there is a value there and the "StopTime" field is Null, then search for the value in the "doneby" field and populate the StopTime & StopDate fields. Private Sub Doneby_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer) Dim strCriterias As String Dim rst As Recordset Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone strCriteria = "Doneby = " & Me!Doneby strCriteria = "StopTime" = Null rst.FindFirst strCriteria Me.Bookmark = rst.Bookmark End Sub As Always, Grateful, Clayton Please zip all files prior to uploading to Files section.
