Thats the thing Larry i havent done anything to reenable them for the next
record, thats my question (sorry i didnt explain real well...). i want
them
all to active when i go to the next record. Any suggestions...
:
They are "greyed out" to reflect the fact that you set their Enabled
propety
to False. What did you do to reset it for the next record? The
AfterUpdate
event of the Form is intended for actions that are to be performed after
the
record is written. I'd presume you want to enable all three options.

sorry i should have explained that, that was one example of a code.
What
my
form does is that a person can only select a certain type i.e. Walk-in
self
selected or walk-in assisted or sent resources. So if someone chooses
walk-in
self selected then they cannot choose any of the other two so they get
greyed
out as such. That code works fine, but when i go to put in record 2 of
2
the
checkboxes remained grey out and what i want is for the default values
to
go
back to normal
:
Comment out that code and try this:
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ctl As Control
If Me.NewRecord = True Then
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
With ctl
If .ControlType = acCheckBox Then
.Value = False
End If
End With
Next
Else
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
With ctl
If .ControlType = acCheckBox Then
.Enabled= False
End If
End With
Next
End If
End Sub
Now checkboxes on existing records cannot be changed.

yeah i do have a disabled code on them this is an example below:
Private Sub Walk_in_Assisted_AfterUpdate()
If [Walk_in_Assisted].Value = True Then
[Walk_in_Self_selected].Enabled = False
[Sent_Resources].Enabled = False
Else
[Walk_in_Self_selected].Enabled = True
[Sent_Resources].Enabled = True
End If
End Sub
:
I just checked the code on a bound form with both bound and unbound
checkbox
controls and the code worked perfectly. I'm guessing that your
controls
are
unbound and they won't maintain the value in a table because you
describe
them as being NULL (grayed out) on new records. Do you have any
code
or
properties which disables them (another possible reason for being
grayed
out)

I just copied and pasted that in the code builder. It didnt work
the
boxes
were still greyed out
:
Use the Current event to reset all the checkboxes (air code):
Private Sub Form_Current()
Dim ctl As Control
If Me.NewRecord = True Then
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
With ctl
If .ControlType = acCheckBox Then
.Value = False
End If
End With
Next
End If
End Sub

At the moment I have a Form whereby if you select a certain
check
box
others
greyout and cannot be selected. What happens when i put one
record
in
and
then save and go onto a new record it remembers what boxes
were
ticked
and
what werent. i want the new record to always open up with all
boxes
having
the option of being ticked.
