I have a check box in a access form and i want when this check box selected , a option button in my form becomes selected.
Sorry, I know this is a amateur question but i need an answer. I used this but it doesn't work :
If (Me.Check86 = True) Then
Option107.OptionValue = 1
Else
Option110.OptionValue = 0
End If
Use the value property instead.
OptionValue is used when several option buttons are grouped together. It allows you to determine which of the option buttons has been selected.
Example
Private Sub Check86_Click()
' Update option buttons based on value of checkbox.
Option107.Value = Me.Check86.Value ' Sync check box and option.
Option110.Value = Not Option107.Value ' Ensures only one option button is selected at a time.
End Sub
This event is fired each time the check box is checked/unchecked. It checks/unchecks Option107 to match. It then sets Option110 to the reverse setting. I'm assuming you only want one option button checked at a time.
I've used the not operator to ensure Option110 and Check86 hold different values. When Check86 is true Option110 is not true, ie false.

I have some very (very) basic MS Access knowledge. I'm trying to expand a bit into either VBA or macros as I'd like to put in some conditional visibility for my form. Basically, I have a checkbox. If it's checked, I want three or four more fields to pop up. Someone was able to point me to a basic VBA formula of if (this checkbox) = true then, (fieldx).visible = true, else, (fieldx).visibility = false, end if.
But I'm so new to this that I need more help and explanation. I tried putting it in but couldn't get it to work (no error message, just nothing changed at all).
Specific questions:
-Does this formula seem right?
-If I want multiple fields to be visible, can I combine them into one formula or should I create a new "if" statement for all?
-Where do I enter this code? I'm running the Office 365 version. For all I know, I'm not even putting it in the right place.
-How do I determine the field names to replace the (this checkbox) and (fieldx) in the formula? I tried entering the name I title the fields as, but with the spaces in the name I got an error message, and without the spaces nothing happened. Is there a specific naming convention to turn the field names into formula-appropriate titles? Is the name listed somewhere?
-Once I get the formula entered, is there something I have to do to get it to run/take effect? I tried saving, closing and reopening with no changes.
-Is this the best way to go about this?
If there's anything else you think I should know, I would love to hear it - but please keep in mind I'm very new to this so if you could keep it at "dummy" or ELI5 levels of explanation, I'd appreciate it!
after creating a form with 4 textboxes and a checkbox put the form in design mode (lower right corner has design mode selected, select a textbox and hit property sheet on the ribbon (or f4).
On the property sheet note the visible property. set the visible property to false. Now the textbox will be invisible when the form starts.
Tip you can select all the textboxes at the same time and set their properties all at once.
Every control on the form and even the various parts of the form have properties you can set and play with. For instance you can give any name you want to any control. On the property sheet go to the other tab and set the name property.
Tip: choose a name you you will remember without having to look it up and describes the controls function.
Next select the checkbox (not the checkbox's label). On the property sheet go to the event tab and select the on click event. hit the ellipsis and choose code builder. Access is Event Driven. We want the textboxes to appear when the checkbox is selected so we put that code in the checkbox click event.
after choosing code builder we get the code window where we can browse among all the events for all our forms. for now all you should see is something like:
Private Sub mycheckbox_Click()
End Sub
So insert some code to handle the checkboxes like:
Private Sub mycheckbox_Click()
If mycheckbox = True Then
txtbox1.Visible = True
txtbox2.Visible = True
txtbox3.Visible = True
txtbox4.Visible = True
Else
txtbox1.Visible = False
txtbox2.Visible = False
txtbox3.Visible = False
txtbox4.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
now when the checkbox is not checked no textboxes are visible.
but when the checkbox is checked they appear
I don't know that how I have built my form is necessarily the best way that I can do it, but it was the way that I could get it to work, at least partially. I have built a form in ms-access 2007 that uses vba to either hide or make available certain combo boxes. The first choice and the one on which the rest of the form is based is a yes/no option, being that either the customer requires outside services for their job or not. Once that is selected the user can then choose from the outside service options(Which are the combo boxes, either visible or no based on the first choice). So this is where the problem comes in, I have code written so that if the user chooses no in the very first box the rest of the boxes are made invisible. However if the user chooses yes they must then choose values, again yes or no to either retain or remove other options for the remainder of the form.
What I am looking to do is to make it so that when the user returns to the form what choices they made are still there. So if they chose no then the form would basically be blank and if they had said yes initially than that answer along with only the other choices they made would be available.
What I am currently using is a simple if-then statement to make the boxes either visible or not.
Private Sub Combo36_AfterUpdate()
If Combo36.Value = "No" Then Me.Combo18.Visible = False
If Combo36.Value = "Yes" Then Me.Combo18.Visible = True
If Combo36.Value = "No" Then Me.Combo20.Visible = False
If Combo36.Value = "Yes" Then Me.Combo20.Visible = True
End Sub
Obviously I am not experienced with access and have stumbling my way through it. I am sorry if any of what I have said above is confusing. If clarity is needed please let me know.
Well for a start, "Flase" should be updated to "False".
Instead of storing and then repopulating the selected values it might be easier to turn the visibility of the whole form true/false based on selection which would keep the last values the user selected.
For showing visibility of the controls try:
Private Sub Combo36_Change()
If Me.Combo36.Value = "No" Then
Me.Combo18.Visible = False
Me.Combo20.Visible = False
ElseIf Me.Combo36.Value = "Yes" Then
Me.Combo18.Visible = True
Me.Combo20.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
Your initial code is okay, to be able to have the form retain the choices then copy the code you have under the Combo36_AfterUpdate() event into the Private Sub Form_Current() event. This will do it.
I have a multiple item form, where most of the checkboxes are disabled unless the user checks the box before it.
Currently I'm using:
If Me.Field1 Then
Me.chxField2.Enabled = True
Else
Me.chxField2.Enabled = False
End If
But if I check the box, it enables the Field2 checkbox for all of them, I only want it to enable the checkbox for one particular row.
Is this possible to do? If it isn't, that's ok but I just had to ask.
Edit: Thanks to Erik I did this in the BeforeUpdate like he described, and it gives the effect I wanted:
Private Sub chxField2_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel = Not Field1
chxField2.Undo
End Sub
Unfortunately, it's not (as far as I know).
On a continuous form, there's actually only one instance of each control. This means that you can't have one of those Field2 checkboxes enabled, and another disabled.
Things you can do:
Use the Checkbox_BeforeUpdate event to check if Field1 is checkded. If it isn't checked, then rollback the change:
Private Sub Field2_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Cancel = Not Field1
End Sub
Also, if you weren't using a checkbox, you would be able to use conditional formatting to give the control a "disabled look". Unfortunatlely, conditional formatting doesn't apply to checkboxes.
I have 4 checkboxes but we need to restrict selection to just a single one, meaning if you check the first, the other 3 will go unchecked. I know we could use ActiveX radio buttons but we'd prefer to avoid ActiveX if possible, plus with check boxes we have more control over the layout.
I've set the name of the checkbox appropriately to Check1:
And then I've put this very basic script into the Visual Basic section:
Private Sub Check1_Click()
Check1.Enabled = True
Check2.Enabled = False
Check3.Enabled = False
Check4.Enabled = False
End Sub
But unfortunately checking the first box doesn't uncheck the next 3.
Any ideas please? Thank you!
If these are Content Controls, as you indicate, then they do not have a CLICK event. Nor can they be identified by VBA by their Title property. The code you show us is for ActiveX controls, which you say you don't want to use...
Working with content control events is not as simple and intuitive as with ActiveX controls. Similar to form fields, Content Controls only have "editing" events that trigger on the user entering and exiting the content control. These events are available in the ThisDocument module, in the Document category.
The same ContentControlOnExit event triggers for ALL content controls in the document, so you need a Select Case or If conditional to query the ContentControl argument in order to know which content control was exited.
In order to address the other checkboxes you need to use the Document.SelectContentControlsByTitle (or ...ByTag) method which returns an array of all content controls with that title (or tag).
If you really want to emulate a "click" event then you need to insert a Custom XML Part in the document with nodes linked to the content controls. When the user changes the state of the control the ContentControlBeforeStoreUpdate event will trigger, letting you take action.
The property you need is Value, not Enabled.
The purpose of property Enabled is to prevent a control from being changed by user.
Additionaly, you need to prevent it from the events cascade. It means that when you change programatically the value of Check2, this will trigger Private Sub Check2_Click() and so on.
In order to make it work you should change your code like that:
Private Sub Check1_Click()
If Check1.Value Then
Check1.Value = True
Check2.Value = False
Check3.Value = False
Check4.Value = False
End If
End Sub
and similarly for the other check boxes.
For your purpose radio buttons will be better choice. Radio buttons have built-in functionality to uncheck currently selected button if other one is checked.
I have a sheet, where one of the columns has 10 checkboxes in one where user can select multiple options.
Is there any way to keep this set of checks unchangeable after user has checked on needed options? Or any other way for user to select 1 or more options (not with list drop-downs)
My situation is like this:
For each row, the user has to select a range of checkboxes (labels of checkboxes tell about type of documents attached for that specific record) There is no further action, just check and save. Is there any macro, or any way to do this beside the actual way (with checkboxes)?
Private Sub CheckBox1_Click()
CheckBox1.Enabled = False
End Sub
I will explain you the complete process.
Add a checkbox Then
Make sure the Design Mode is Selected
Right Click on the CheckBox and click on View Code
And there place this code Make sure the CCheckbox name is according to your checkbox
Now whenever the user Checks the checkbox it will get disabled.
