Group checkboxes on subform
Hello,
I am creating a form that has two fields on it that are linked to a table. When I click one of the fields a subform opens. On this subform I have created a group of 9 checkboxes (like a matrix). If the first checkbox is checked, I want the value "T" to be entered in the first field of the mainform and the value "W" to be entered in the second field of the mainform then the subform should close. If the secondbox is checked then different values should be entered in the feld and so on. I suspect that I need to write a procedure in the propertiesfield on key press of the first checkbox and do the same with the other checkboxes. But I don't know the code. Can anyone help me? The name of the mainform = FrmOverzicht, the name of field 1 on the mainform = info and field 2 = NNW. Thanks in advance, Yara |

Group checkboxes on subform
You can put code like this on the after update of the checkbox.
Private Sub Check1_AfterUpdate If Me.Check1 = True Then Me.Parent.[NameOfControlA] = "T" Me.Parent.[NameOfControlB] = "W" DoCmd.Close acForm, Me.Name End If End Sub The above code assumes that the first checkbox is called Check1 Where the code has [NameOfControlA] , replace it with the name of the control on the main form. Do similar for [NameOfControlB] Do a similar thing for the other 8 checkboxes. Jeanette Cunningham MS Access MVP -- Melbourne Victoria Australia "Yara" wrote in message ...

Hi Jeanette,
Thank you for the code. It works fine with checkboxes. Is there anyway I can use this on a selection button (Sorry I have the Dutch version and I don't know the english name for this). There is no after update there. Where can I put it then. I have tried to place the code at key press but that doen't work. Can you plese help me again?

Group checkboxes on subform
In addition to my respons earlier: I noticed that when I use a group of
selection buttons there is no after update in the properties but when I use just 1 selection button it does have after update. Same goes for checkboxes; as soon as I put them in a group it loses the option for after update in the properties. I will use the buttons alone instead of grouped. Thanks again for the help.

Group checkboxes on subform
When you use the 'selection button' - we call it an option group or frame.
Instead of using the after update for each check box or each button, use the value for the option group. If I have an option group with 3 checkboxes or selection buttons, When I check the first checkbox, the option group will have the value =1. When I check the second checkbox, the option group will have the value = 2. Similar for the third checkbox ( assuming that check = show tick). So your code uses the value of the option group (frame), instead of looking for the value for each checkbox or button inside the frame. If Not Is Null (Me.NameOfOptionGroup) Then Select Case Me.NameOfOptionGroup Case 1 'code to do something Case 2 'code to do something Case 3 'code to do something End Select Jeanette Cunningham MS Access MVP -- Melbourne Victoria Australia "Yara" wrote in message ...
