I have a form with about 20 option buttons. In some instances, when
the form is opened, only 1 option button is enabled and the others are
disabled. This is controlled by criteria from another form.
I did this by writing
Forms![Options Form].Option5.Enable d = False
for all the options that I wanted to be disabled
and
Forms![Options Form].Option3.Enable d = True
for the one to be enabled.
I did this for all the options that could potentially be disabled and
I think it must be a very sloppy way to do it, even if it does work.
I would like to be able to send the option number to one function that
would disable all the options and enable the one option that was sent.
I tried sending Option5 as a string but that didn't work. I really
don't know enough about access to figure this out so if someone could
help I would really appreciate it.
Thank you,

What if you use an option group? That will handle most of the interface
issues for you

Thanks for the reply,
Sorry I didn't mention that. I am using an option group. What I am
trying to do is, depending on criteria from another form, certain
options are disabled so that the user cannot select them.
In the OptionForm, declare
Private isEnabled as Boolean
Public Sub SetEnable(enabl er As Boolean)
isEnabled = enabler
End Sub
From the other form, you can then call
OptionForm.SetE nable True
In the form, you can then have code such as
With Me
.Option1.Enable d = Not isEnabled
.Option2.Enable d = isEnabled
.Option3.Enable d = isEnabled
.Option4.Enable d = isEnabled
.Option5.Enable d = Not isEnabled
End With
This may not work out exactly the same if you have several different
configurations of enable/disable, but the principle is the same for
configuration 1, 2, etc. Keep in mind that this won't do anything to speed
your code up, just to make it easier to read and maintain.

Private optToEnable as Integer
Public Sub SetEnable(optio nNumber As Integer)
optToEnable = optionNumber
End Sub

Call by:
OptionForm.SetE nable 3

Assuming your option groups are numbered Option1 to Option9,
Dim i As Integer
For i = 1 to 9
Me("Option" & i).Enabled = False
Next i
Me("Option" & optToEnable).En abled = True "ShyGuy" <sh****@shytown .com> wrote: Thank you. Is there a way to pass the option number to be enabled to a function and ust the passed option number in code to enable that option? This way I would only need 1 function to cover all the different possible options.
