How do you update a checkbox?

[Guest]

How can a after update be completed on a check box. The reason I need this is
I run a query report that draws from checked boxes. So I have a form
"DualEmpl" with a check box [REX]. Also on the "DualEmpl" form there is a
button that runs a query " bases on "yes" or checked boxes from the
"DualEmpl" form. But for some reason I have to close the "DualEmpl" form
before the [REX] check box will update.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

If the checkbox is on the form and bound to the underlying table or query:

Me.REX = True
Me.Dirty = False ' save the form
Me.Requery

as an event procedure in the AfterUpdate event of whatever control changes
the condition. If you are clicking on the checkbox directly, just save and
requery.

Hey I tried that, but it said Compile Error: Method or data error not found.

Any suggestions? Thanks

On which line does your event procedure break?

If you have Break on unhandled errors set in the code window's Tools >>>
Options, you should be able to spot which line is causing the error, It will
be highlighted in yellow.

Good day;

I am not sure I know what you mean I am not the best with code. But the
"Private Sub Check 38" which is the check box in question, is highlighted
yellow along with the ".REX" after "Me" is highlighed grey.

Do I need to insert a event procedure break or something there somewhere?

OK, it should look like this:

1. The property sheet should have [Event Procedure] in the AfterUpdate event

2 Code assuming REX is Check38 (no space in the name):

Private Sub Check38_AfterUpdate()
Me.Check38 = True
Me.Dirty = False ' save the form
Me.Requery
End Sub

Glad it worked. The first several years I worked with macros. I actually
wrote some very sophisticated macros and an application that has been in use
for almost 13 years now. But is was way too limiting. There is so much power
in VBA that it's worth learning. True the code below might have been written
with a macro, but probably not as quickly. Two books that might be helpful
are:

Access 2007 (there are also earlier versions) Inside & Out
and
Access 2007 (also earlier versions) VBA
