Unbound check box won't check
I have a form that lists bank accounts, then specific transaction details for
that account number in a sub-form. I want to add filtering capabilities to narrow the number of transactions one is looking for. On the transaction detail subform, in the header section, I have a number of radio button frames to and text boxes to allow the user to select their search criteria. All of the search stuff is invisible and disabled when the form opens, with instead a general text label that says "All Transactions For This Account".... I also have a check box, with the label that says "Search for specific transactions" - I have the coding for the check box, so when it's enabled (= -1), the original label is not visible, and all the search fields and descriptions become visible and enabled. I've tried putting the coding in both the "After Update" and "On Click" events. I've also left all the coding off entirely. The box doesn't do anything when clicked, ever. It's default value = 0, it's enabled, visible, unlocked and Triple State = No. Since I've used unbound check boxes in other headers of other subforms, I don't think it's that. Is there something specific that might be happening on the loading of the main form or the subform that I should look out for? |

This does not appear to be a real problem. It is done all the time.
Post your code so we can see if the problem is there. "aemAndy" wrote: I have a form that lists bank accounts, then specific transaction details for that account number in a sub-form.

Never mind.... I had the "Allow Edits" switched to "No" to prevent changes to
the transaction details, so that also disabled changes to the values of the unbound fields, including the check box and radio button frames. I'll disable and lock the fields in the details. I had already put together a workaround with a standard button, with the action based upon the caption, which would toggle on clicks. I like the checkbox better, so I'm reinstating that one.
