Help with a field control on form

[Guest]

I would like to create a form on which there are several fields. I, however,
would like to have these fields controled by a yes/no control. I would
really like to have all of the fields stacked one in front of the other. I
would then like to click a yes/no or command button to make the wanted field
visible/accesible. Is there a way to do this using VB code or with a macro?
Thank you in advance.

The following example assumes a command button named cmdEnableToggle
(code in the button's Click event), and 4 controls to be
enabled/disabled by it. Can be easily modified for any number of
controls, by changing the number and adding / removing control names.

Private Sub cmdEnableToggle_Click()
Dim ctl(4) As String
Dim vStatus As Boolean
ctl(1) = "Text0"
ctl(2) = "Text2"
ctl(3) = "Text4"
ctl(4) = "Text6"
vStatus = Me.Controls(ctl(1)).Visible
If vStatus = True Then
Me.cmdEnableToggle.Caption = "Enable"
Me.cmdEnableToggle.ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
Me.cmdEnableToggle.Caption = "Disable"
Me.cmdEnableToggle.ForeColor = vbRed
End If
For i = 1 To 4
Me.Controls(ctl(i)).Visible = Not vStatus
Next
End Sub

Alternatively, if you want to toggle all textboxes on the form, you
could use something like:

Private Sub cmdEnableToggle_Click()
Dim ctl As Control
Dim vStatus As Boolean
vStatus = Me.Text0.Visible
If vStatus = True Then
Me.cmdEnableToggle.Caption = "Enable"
Me.cmdEnableToggle.ForeColor = vbBlue
Else
Me.cmdEnableToggle.Caption = "Disable"
Me.cmdEnableToggle.ForeColor = vbRed
End If
For Each ctl In Me.Controls
If ctl.ControlType = acTextBox Then ctl.Visible = Not vStatus
Next
End Sub

where Text0 is the name of any of them, just so the current status is
detected.
