I need to set the value of a checkbox to false where the value of textbox1 is equal to item# in the table I have the checkbox in. I need to do this via a command button click. What is the simplest way to accomplish this?
You can put this code in your userform's CommandButton1_click() event and it should work.
If TextBoxName.Value = "Value of item you are comparing to" Then
CheckBoxName.Value = False
End If
You need to change certain things in this code like adding the name of the text box, name of the check box, and entering the value of the item you want to compare it to.

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 have a checkbox in my main form which causes a text box and a button to disappear and appear when it is not checked and checked respectively. The code below works correctly:
Private Sub Check288_Click()
If Me.Check288.Value = True Then
MsgBox "Please Enter Reference Number and fill in the name", , "Database"
Text293.SetFocus
Me.MTM_Signature.Visible = True
Me.btn_8DGen.Visible = True
Else
Me.MTM_Signature.Visible = False
Me.btn_8DGen.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
My problem is this code is affecting the whole list of records instead of the current chosen record. I have an auto numbered primary key (ID) for identifying each records. Is there any way for me to make the text box and button disappear only for the current record. I am new to access VBA. Thank you.
In the event of Check288_Click() display a modal form and let the user enter the Reference Number. When closing the pop-up form update the database. You can use conditional formatting to hide (blend) the text box if you do not want to show it when empty.
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 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.
I have created a datagridview with a DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn. Initially I read in my data and set the value of the checkbox to true if the data is there and false if it is not. This works fine, but If I change the state of the checkbox to either checked or unchecked from what it was previously, I can't read this change. When I try to save the data it always shows, the checkbox's original state.
How can I re-read the checkbox's value after it has been clicked?
I tried the solution show here:
How to check a checkbox created with VB's DataGridViewCheckBoxColumn on Runtime
using: DirectCast(DataGridView1(0, 2).Value, Boolean)
but it does not work for me. I always get the original state of the checkbox when I look at it. If the box was originally checked and I uncheck it, this value will still show True.
You may be looking at the wrong row (you are looking at the first row only with the index of 0). You can use the DataGridView_CellEndEdit Event to find the value of the checkbox, like so...
If e.ColumnIndex = 2 Then 'this is the columnIndex of your checkbox column
If MyBindingSource.Current("CheckBoxColumnName") = true then
'the column is checked, so do something
End If
End If
