Updating the value held by a form control as part of the event handler for the AfterUpdate event. Do this with Me!IncidentDescriptionInput.Value = Output

Retrieving the existing value of a form control for concatenation with another string. Do this with Output = Me!IncidentDescriptionInput.Value

Concatenating the existing value of a form control with another string. You do this with Output = Output & " " & Format(Now(), "dd-mmm-yy") ...

Assuming that the summary box is called IncidentDescriptionSummary, then the code might be modified to something like:

Code:
Private Sub IncidentDescriptionInput_AfterUpdate()
    Dim Output As String
    Output = IncidentDescriptionInput & " " & Format(Now(), "dd-mmm-yy\/hh:nn\/") & Environ("UserName") & ";"
    IncidentDescriptionInput = Output
    IncidentDescriptionSummary = IncidentDescriptionSummary & vbCrLf & Output
End Sub
