Continuous form

[Guest]

I have a continuous form with one text field and four checkboxes. I need to
be able to hide/show the four checkboxes for each row depending on the value
of the text field.

I'm not sure this is possible based on the design of a continuous form.

Am I correct? Can anyone suggest an alternative way of accomplishing this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, it is possible. Just design it as if there was a single form. In
multiple form view, each instance will reflect the appropriate appearance
based on the value in its own fields.

Conditional Formatting can be used to disable/enable controls (not
hide/show) within a continuous form record independently of the controls in
other records.

Add a conditional Format (disable) to each check box using "Expression Is"
and some expression that references your textbox that will equate to True or
False.

If you really need to hide/show rather than enable/disable, you might be
able to come up with a fill color/font color format that will appoximate
invisibility....


HTH,

It already is designed as a single form. I'm not sure what you're
suggesting...

I currently have the default view as single form as you suggest. How do I
set "multiple form view"?

While sitting on the Form. - Properties - Format - Default view -
change to continuous form.

However there is a question. Given the size of the window that the form
is displayed in, is there really room for it to be shown more than
once? If there is not enough room then change it to continuous will
not really change anything.

Continuous will make a difference,
1 if you maximize the form and that size is bigger than the size of the
detail part of your form on which your fields are arranged.
or
2 if what you have designed is a sub form on a larger form, then IF the
detail part of your form on which your fields are arranged is smaller
than the "window" size as it is layed out on the larger form - then it
will make a difference.
