To put the value of (GermanCourseworkMark+German FoundationExaminationMarkF)
or Higher(GermanCourseworkMark+GermanExaminationMarkH ) i have used code so
that when foundation or higher from the option group is selected, the total
of this calculation automatically appears in the 'OverallMark' box.
N.B. Frame108=my option group

Private Sub Frame108_Click()
If Frame108 = 1 Then 'Foundation
Me!OverallMark = Nz(Me!GermanExaminationMarkF, 0) +
Nz(Me!GermanCourseworkMark, 0)
Else 'Higher
Me!OverallMark = Nz(Me!GermanExaminationMarkH, 0) +
Nz(Me!GermanCourseworkMark, 0)
End If
End Sub


sorry, I hope that is slightly clearer. Thank you very much for helping with
this!

the
OverallMark textbox. My suggestion to remove the field name from the
option
group's control source was because it appeared it was also bound to
the
OverallMark field, as is the OverallMark textbox, and the two controls
cannot hold the same type data in your setup from what I'm reading.

So, are you storing the option group's value in a field in the form's

form
to

So what are you wanting to store in the table field named OverallMark -- the
sum of the grades? or the value of the option group's selection? (I am
understanding that the control named OverallMark is bound to the field named
OverallMark, so it would appear that you want to store the sum of the grades
in that field. Do you have a field for storing the option group's value for
that record?)

No, I don't think I do have a field to store the option groups value. Yes I
want to store the sum in the OverallMark field. Not really very sure what you
mean by option groups value, do that mean the 1 or 2 default values or in my
case Foundation or Higher?
If yees, how would I do this, so that the value is stored on each record?

Thank you!

By option group's value, I do indeed mean the 1 or 2.

If you want to store that value, then you'll need to add a field to your
table to hold the value, add that field to the form's RecordSource query,
and bind the option group to that field.

controls
cannot hold the same type data in your setup from what I'm
reading.

So, are you storing the option group's value in a field in the
form's
recordsource? or are you using it just to make a selection for
your
form
to
write data into the OverallMark textbox?

Hi!
I have just tried this again, and it won't work properly,
because
the
Options from the Option group will not update on each record,
they
just
stay
the same on each record. if i select 'higher' on one record,
it
stays
on
that
for each record, although the 'OverallMark' updates as it
should.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Emma

If I'm understanding your setup correctly, the Control
Source
property
for
the option group should be empty. It should not be bound
to
OverallMark.

Also, remove the
=[OverallMark]
from the On Mouse Down property for the option group.

I have created an option group, with the values
'Foundation'
=1
and
'Higher' =2


The 'foundation' option showns the value of
'GermanCourseworkMark'
and
'GermanExaminationMarkF' in the 'OverallMark' box when
selected

The 'Higher' option showns the value of
'GermanCourseworkMark'
and
'GermanExaminationMarkH' in the 'OverallMark' box when
selected

The 'OverallMark' box control source is set to
OverallMark,
the
Option
Groups Control source likewise.

On OptionGroup properites 'On Mouse Down' set to
=[OverallMark]

The Option group functions correctly, but the option box
for
the
option
chosen is not selected(doesn't have a dot in it!)
although
I
have
clicked
it,
the calculations are performed correctly though.

How do I get the Option to be selected when I click it,
so
it
has
a
dot
in
it?

Thank you - if you require anymore information about my
option
group
to
solve this, then I've give it.

Thank you in advance!

Emma
