triple state toggle button problem (Access 97)

Hi folks.

I have a form, frmHistory, which has 3 toggle buttons (1 of which is
tglName, which I will be using to demonstrate my problem). The buttons
are used to sort the form (explanations below). I have set the
button's "Triple State" value to Yes, and the default value to False.
Here is the macro that I used for tglName (I assigned the macro to the
button's On Click event):

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Condition: Not [Screen].[ActiveControl]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Screen].[ActiveForm].[OrderBy]
Expression: ""

Condition: IsNull([Screen].[ActiveControl])
Action: SetValue
Item: [Screen].[ActiveForm].[OrderBy]
Expression: "frmHistory.Mem Name"

Condition: [Screen].[ActiveControl]
Action: SetValue
Item: [Screen].[ActiveForm].[OrderBy]
Expression: "frmHistory.Mem Name DESC"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I also assigned a macro to the form's On Open event:

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmHistory].[OrderBy]
Expression: ""

Action: SetValue
Item: [Forms]![frmHistory].[OrderByOn]
Expression: True
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

When I open the form, the form isn't sorted, which is how it should
be; when I click tglName, the form is sorted by name in ascending
order; when I click tglName again, the form is sorted in descending
order; and when I click it one final time, the form will be like it
was before, i.e. not sorted at all. So far so good. The problem begins
when I click tglName yet again - the form doesn't sort at all. The
same problem occurs in the other 2 buttons - when I've gone through a
full "loop" with whichever 1 button, the other 2 doesn't work. Any
ideas of what went wrong? Thank you (and my apologies if things are a
bit confusing).

I am constructing a database to process product returns for my Company. I have a number of toggle buttons to identify the stage to which each return has been processed. For example, clicking the first button confirms that the goods are now in our building awaiting initial processing. This button then fires off an email to our warehouse staff alerting them to the fact. I want to restrict these buttons to single use, so that once the email...

Hi, is there any way I can implement toolstrip toggle button simular to the MS Word alignment button? if one toggle button already pressed down, if user click on the "pushed down button", the other toggle button will push down and the "pushed down button" will push up.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this, but it gets around one of the more annoying limitations of using themed controls. Normally when using themed controls a triple state check box looks the same in the unchecked and null states - very annoying and not all that useful. Today I found by accident that if the border style of the checkbox is set to anything other than "solid", the check box takes on the appearance of a non-themed...

Hi all, Hum i just erased the whole message by mistake, :( Ok so i want to hide a specific field in an Access form using a toggle button, but i cant seem to get the right syntax.

I'm designing a debounce filter using Finite State Machine. The FSM behavior is it follows the inital input bit and thinks that's real output until it receives 3 consecutive same bits and it changes output to that 3 consecutive bit until next 3 consecutive bits are received. A reset will set the FSM to output 1s until it receives the correct input and ouput. This is the test sequence with input and correct output. 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 1...

I'm currently working on a form which consists of a show and hide javascript. The toggle works fine, although when I click on submit, I would like the page to reload with the toggle (show/hide) div in the same state it was before being submitted. E.G. If the div was visible, I'd like for it to be visible upon return. Here's the script I'm currently using - thanks for any help, Louis --------------------------------------------

Hello all, In access 2007, it appears you cannot put a toggle button underneath a menu id and have it show a Pressed / Not Pressed status. If you make the toggleButton ID as part of the main ribbon on a form, it will show the pressed status. Does anyone know of any workarounds? If not, what I'm trying to do is have 2 styles of a particular form, and

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
