I am trying to design a form for our dealflow database that will hide certain criteria when a certain box is ticked. Reason for this is that it contains both individual projects and portfolios of projects - almost all of the fields are the same but there are a couple that only apply to projects and a couple that only apply to portfolios. How do I do this? Don't want to create two forms as there are 60 or 70 fields in total. Thanks!

Hi Kate

Thank you for your question

I have uploaded a database with one form in it. It has 4 text boxes and a check box. The check box has the following code attached to its "after update" event

Private Sub chk1_AfterUpdate()


If Me.chk1.Value = True Then

Me.txt1.Visible = False
Me.txt2.Visible = False
Me.txt3.Visible = False
Me.txt4.Visible = False

Else

Me.txt1.Visible = True
Me.txt2.Visible = True
Me.txt3.Visible = True
Me.txt4.Visible = True

End If

End Sub


This code will run everytime the value of the check box is altered. It gives you the general code that you would have to write. The key is to set the visible property of the relevant text box to "true" or "false".

I hope this helps. If you require further clarification please don't hesitate to repost

Regards

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on this one. Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to open the sample database you've attached to the email - any idea why this is?

Many thanks,

Kate
