Combo/Field Problem

Hi,

I have a combo box (Named: Ethnicity) and a field (Named:
OtherEthnicity) . From the combo drop down list when Other is selected, I
want the field next to it to be enabled when the selection is made.

I had a ago constructing some amateurish coding, but it does not work.

Private Sub Ethnicity_After Update()
If Other Then
[OtherEthinicity].Enabled = True
Else
[OtherEthinicity].Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

Doesn't seem to work with a tick box and a text box (txtDate) though, with
the coding:


Possible values for a checkbox are null, -1(checked) and 0(unchecked)
All you need for your purpose is:

Private Sub Check_AfterUpda te()
Me.txtDate.Enab led = Me.Check
End Sub

I have created a form which sets up a dataview. The form views one record at a time using a currencymanager. This works fine. All my text boxes bind. However I have a combo box which gets its lookup values from another (Advertising) table (AdvertisingID, Advertising). This works .. However, where it doesn't work as well is when the form loads, the combo boxes should bind to the AdvertisingID field and display the respective data.

Hi everyone, Please let there be someone out there who can help. I have two BOUND combo boxes on a continuous form, the second being dependent on the first. I have no problem getting the second combo to change depending on what values the user selects in the first box, it's just that every time the user changes the first combobox, the second combobox FOR EVERY RECORD goes blank.

Hi, I decided to install Office 2003 Service Pack 3 on my home computer to test (in full knowledge that there may be some issues with it).

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
