Check Box Validation

[Guest]

Hi,

I need to create a requirement that if the user enters information into a
specific text box, the user then has to select one of three check boxes. The
text box is called Provider and the three check boxes are called Ind, Pat,
Ret.

Hi, Karen.

If the three checkboxes are mutually exclusive, i.e., only one can be
selected regardless of the status of the textbox, you may wish to use an
option group instead. Use the form's BeforeUpdate event to check the fields:

If Nz(Me!Provider)<> 0 Then
If (Me!Ind=False AND Me!Pat = False AND Me!Ret = False) Then
Cancel = True
' Set focus to the first of the three controls
Me!Ind.SetFocus
End If
End If

If using an option group, you would instead use the test

If Nz(Me!YourOptionGroup) = 0 Then

for the inner If..End If block.
