Problem with hiding controls

A

Alain

Hi,

I am having some problem hiding/unhiding some control based on a checkbox
value.
For some reason nothing seems to work at all, here is the code I use
If Lease3rdParty Then
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Tenant].Visible = True
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantContact].Visible
= True
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantNotes].Visible =
True
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Line482].Visible = True
ElseIf Not Lease3rdParty Then
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Tenant].Visible = False
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantContact].Visible
= False
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantNotes].Visible =
False
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Line482].Visible =
False
End If

My controls are set up originally at visible= No
Can anybody help me out on this one

Thanks
 
M

Where is that code? As just a guess, it would be in both
the Form's Current event and in the check box's AfterUpdate
event procedures.

BTW, that code could be much more concise:

With Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany].FORM
![Tenant].Visible = Lease3rdParty
![TenantContact].Visible = Lease3rdParty
![TenantNotes].Visible = Lease3rdParty
![Line482].Visible = Lease3rdParty
End With

It is in both control, form current and the check box

Marsh,
I need to understand something, why do the code need to be in the
AfterUpdate, shouldn't it be in the OnClick event ??
If you click on the check box then the event is hapenning, right??

Thanks for the teaching

Alain

For a check box, I think it won't matter whether you use the
Clcik or AfterUpdate event. For some other controls (e.g.
text box), you do not use a click to change the value, so,
for the sake of consistency, I prefer to use the AfterUpdate
everywhere.

Are you sure the event procedure is actually running?

Double check to make sure the form's OnCurrent and the check
box's AfterUpdate properties are set to [Event Procedure].
Then click on the [...] button in the property's right
margin to jump to the procedure so you can verify that the
event property is connected to the event procedure.

Marsh,

both controls (check box and form) are set at the proper event procedure,
OnClick and AfterUpdate (for testing here) for the checkbox and OnCurrent
for the form.

I'm stumped. If the event procedure is properly connected
to the event property, I can't think of anything that you
could do wrong that wouldn't generate some kind of error.

I think you'll have place a break point in the procedure and
inspect each value to make sure the code is actually
executing and that the value of Lease3rdParty is what it's
supposed to be.

If it doesn't stop at a break point, either the procedure is
not being called or, far less likely, the module is
corrupted.

Ohhh boy. Now it definitely sounds like a (code?)
corruption issue.

FIRST, make a copy of the fe mdb file and only use the copy
for further activities.

I suggest that you first try decompiling the mdb to flush
out all compiled code. See:
http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/decompile.htm

For a broad discussion of corruption issues, see:

Don't know if this will get read or not but,
After reading through this thread (looking for a solution to a similar
problem I was having) I noticed something about the first line of code in
Alain's procedure...
If Lease3rdParty Then
Click to expand...

I am new to VBcode, but doesn't there need to be a qualifier in here??? If
Lease3rdParty is a check box control, wouldn't we need something like
If Lease3rdParty=yes Then....?
Like I said, I am learning here so I hope this doesn't sound to off the wall
to the experts.

No, not if the check box is bound to a Yes/No field.
Tachnically, a Yes/No field can only be True or False so
there is no need to compare it to True to see if it's True.
OTOH, there used to be a serious bug where Access got
confused and refused to close if you did not do something to
indicate that you were referencing the Value and not the
check box object, but you should not have to worry about
that any more.

Note that Yes is not a predefined constant is Access VBA,
you would use True instead.

....and just to add something onto Marshall's comment, there's another
similar thing that can be done with expressions that evaluate to either true
or false. The code:

me.ctlWhatever.visible=(x=2)

is a quick way of writing

if x=2 then
me.ctlWhatever.visible=true
else
me.ctlWhatever.visible=false
endif

Don't know if this will get read or not but,
After reading through this thread (looking for a solution to a similar
problem I was having) I noticed something about the first line of code in
Alain's procedure...
If Lease3rdParty Then
Click to expand...

I am new to VBcode, but doesn't there need to be a qualifier in here??? If
Lease3rdParty is a check box control, wouldn't we need something like
If Lease3rdParty=yes Then....?
Like I said, I am learning here so I hope this doesn't sound to off the wall
to the experts.

Thanks Jeff but I need to hide a complete subform, not just a control

Alain, try calling the control differently. This syntax work for me.

Forms("form1").Controls("option0").Visible = True

Hi,

I am having some problem hiding/unhiding some control based on a checkbox
value.
For some reason nothing seems to work at all, here is the code I use
If Lease3rdParty Then
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Tenant].Visible =
True

Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantContact].Visible
= True
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantNotes].Visible
=
True
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Line482].Visible =
True
ElseIf Not Lease3rdParty Then
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Tenant].Visible =
False

Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantContact].Visible
= False
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![TenantNotes].Visible
=
False
Forms![frmownedproperties]![subformcompany]![Line482].Visible =
False
End If

My controls are set up originally at visible= No
Can anybody help me out on this one

Thanks
