Hi,

I have a text box in a form called "tracking database" and another called
"document hyperlink", how do I design a form so that when tracking database
is set to "no" document hyperlink is invisible and when tracking database is
set to yes it is visible?

Cheers

Mike

You could add code behind the control for [tracking database] that evaluates
its contents and sets the visible property of the [document hyperlink]
control.

From a usability standpoint, you might want to consider making the [document
hyperlink] control Enabled/Disabled instead of having it wink in and out of
visibility.

Your code could look something like:

Me.[document hyperlink].Enabled = (Me.[tracking database] <> "no")

(you did say it was a text control, right? If it were a Yes/No-type
control/field, you'd need to change that code)
