Hello.
Is possible to enable/disable a button in a form, depending on the value of
a certain text field?
Thank you.

Sure. In the form's Current event, put code like:

Me.MyButton.Enabled = (Me.MyTextField = "ABC")

to only have the button enabled if the text field contains ABC.
 
Hello, Douglas. Thank you for your quick answer.
However, I think the problem is a little more complicated than that... maybe
I simplified it too much...
The real situation is:
I have in a form three buttons: button_1, button_2 and button_3. What I want
is when a field have the text «Button1» for example, all the buttons are
disabled except button_1, if the field value is «Button2», all the buttons
are disabled but the button_2, and so on...
I already tried your solution in the form's Current event, but when I change
de field value, everything stays the same...

Me.Button_1.Enabled = (Me.Text.field = "Button1")
Me.Button_2.Enabled = (Me.Text.field = "Button2")
Me.Button_3.Enabled = (Me.Text.field = "Button3")

Thank you for your help.

In my sample. I assumed that the text box was named MyTextField. You're
using Me.Text.field, which isn't valid (the .field part)
 
You ALSO have to execute the same conditional code in the Afterupdate
event of the text field.
