If the user checks selects 'Yes' from a combo box, I'd like to enable
a group of check boxes (all have tag property "col"). If the user
selects 'No', I'd like to disable them but, if any are checked, tell
the user data will be deleted and then set the checkboxes = Null
(assuming the user says okay). My current code triggers the prompt for
*each* check box that's checked, rather then looping through them
automatically. Do I need to another "For each ..." clause after the
first Else statement?

Thank you.

Jon:

Your code has the same problem mine has: It prompts the user for
*each* checkbox that's = True. (So if 3 checkboxes are checked, he
gets asked 3 times, "... is this OK?")

mie:

I can't follow how your code comes together. I ignored the first code
you posted, and you came back with this:

Dim ctl As control
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.Tag = "Col" Then
If Me.cboColor = "Yes" Then
ctl.enabled = True
Else
If ctl.value = True Then ctl.value = False
ctl.enabled = False
End If
End If
Next

So where / how do I incorporate the iresponse ... question for the
user? The above code will change all True checkboxes to False without
first asking the user.

Also:

For me, i will ask user confirmation once only. Then proceed the cancellation process. Imagine if you have 10 check boxes, user will be prompted 10 time for confirmation.

That's the problem I'm trying to fix. If I can have Access loop
through the controls automatically it should mean the user gets one
prompt and not, e.g., 10.
