Menus and immediately updating values on them...

[Gary J. Dikkema]

I have a sequence of 6 tasks listed down on a menu and as they complete each
I want to place a checkmark there and then FORCE them to do the next step...
etc until they are all done... I have other tasks on this menu but want this
group of six completed first before moving on...

Can this be done... I have the steps listed but I mean the checkmark beside
each as they are done...

These tasks are buttons that run macros...

TIA.

Well you could have the macro change a value in a filed in a table as
its last step. You would need to base that check box on the form on that
value and you would need to refresh that field on the form.

Thanks.

Didn't know there was Refresh menu.

I will look into that as I do update info on menus and sometimes it takes a
while before it ripples down.

Did you mean Requery?

So here's the sequence of events...

Click on form, up pops a sub form which allows the user to make changes and
which then closes the sub form.

Then you verify those changes by again clicking on the form and another sub
form pops up where you see the result of those changes made and again you
close this and you're back to the form.

I see where if on the main form you click SHFT-F9 the info immediately gets
updated on the main form.

However, all of the clicking has been done.

My other routines work the same way...

What am I missing here?

TIA.
