Need Help with Case statement with conditional formatting

My current learn as you go code is just a simple if then statement.
I
am think the best thing is to change to a Case statement since there
are 30 sets of the code as shown below which exceeds the limits of
the
Proceedure size. My thought is that it would be best to call the
Case
statement above the next then just "add the differance" yet I am not
sure how to go about this. I GoSub a reset before ease Case. Can I
add a second GoSub to run the previous Case or am I going about this
wrong. This is for a form to display selected fields.

Another option if possible would be to shorten the statements which
are nothing but conditional formattings. Can I simplify things by
creating a range... cbolyrtype3 through cbolyrtype30.enable ??? is
this possible? As you can well see, my "code" is simple but crude
but I have now exceeded my capabilities.

Are all of those controls bound to fields? If so, your database design is
almost surely incorrect. It may help to know something of the database's
purpose and structure.

I have a few observations. Any code relying on the value of a field or
control needs to run *after* the field has been updated. You would need code
in the control's After Update event, and in the form's Current event so the
controls are appropriately visible or not depending on the value of cboLyrs
when you first arrive at a record.

Some controls are the same (for instance, not visible) no matter the value of
cboLyrs. There is no point to coding something that is not going to change.

GoSub is of limited usefulness in any case, and none at all here. Also, you
seem to be setting the Visible property of labels and so forth that are not
included in the long list in Select Case. For instance, lbl1line.Visible is
False in LyrReset, but is never set to True.

In general you could do something like this:

Me.Control1.Visible = (cboLyrs = 1)

or:

Dim blnVis as Boolean

blnVis = (cboLyrs = 1)

Me.Control1.Visible = blnVis
etc.

If you need to hide or unhide a large number of controls you may do well to
make a box the same color as the form background and covering a number of
controls, and hide or unhide that. However, you should study some relational
database design principles before proceeding, as you will be forever fighting
with the project in its current state. Here a list of links I borrowed from
John Vinson. IMO Crystal's tutorial is as good a place as any to start.

Because you have a group of controls that need to be changed at the same
time, you can create a user defined funciton that will handle visible or not
visible and simply call the function providing the desired paramenter. For
example, to work with your "cbolyrtype3 through cbolyrtype30" controls, you
could use a function like this:

Function SetCboCondition(Status As Boolean)
Dim cntr
For cntr = 3 To 30
Me.Controls("cbolyrtype" & cntr).Enabled = Status
Next cntr
End Function

Then you would call the function from the after update event of any other
control that affects these controls, by placing this line of cde in the event.

'this line would set each of the controls "Enabled" property to false
SetCboCondition False

to set the same controls "Enabled" property to true you would use:
SetCboCondition true

If you needed to manage the Enabled and the Visible properties, your
function would be modified to something like this:

Function SetCboCondition(Status As Boolean)
Dim cntr
For cntr = 3 To 30
With Me.Controls("cbolyrtype" & cntr)
.Enabled = Status
.Visible = Status
End With
Next cntr
End Function

When you call this function both the enable property and the visible
property would be set to false or true based on the value you pass to the
function when you call it.

My current learn as you go code is just a simple if then statement.
I
am think the best thing is to change to a Case statement since there
are 30 sets of the code as shown below which exceeds the limits of
the
Proceedure size. My thought is that it would be best to call the
Case
statement above the next then just "add the differance" yet I am not
sure how to go about this. I GoSub a reset before ease Case. Can I
add a second GoSub to run the previous Case or am I going about this
wrong. This is for a form to display selected fields.

Another option if possible would be to shorten the statements which
are nothing but conditional formattings. Can I simplify things by
creating a range... cbolyrtype3 through cbolyrtype30.enable ??? is
this possible? As you can well see, my "code" is simple but crude
but I have now exceeded my capabilities.
