I chose toggle buttons in my option group and now my option group isn't being updated when one of them is pressed

[MLH]

Why is that?

If I choose the tiny check boxes which are hard to
hit with a mouse, it works fine. But option buttions,
shich can be sized big enough for people with limited
sight and dexterity to hit - they don't work at all.

Its true. I created 'em with the built-in wizard furnished
with Access 97 but they do not work. I put 12 of 'em
in the group, labeled the months of the year and giving
them option values 1 through 12. No afterupdate code
fires on click of ANY of the 12 toggle buttons.

Why?

Are you using AfterUpdate of the ToggleButton or of the OptionGroup? You
need to use the latter.

Are you positive you have them *inside* the OptionGroup. If you move the
group to the ToggleButtons move?

need to use the latter. That's the problem. I can't use the latter. I can write code there,
but it does no good. The event doesn't fire. Does it fire for you?
I let the wizard build my option group. Maybe it left something out.
Dunno. But I don't think so. I remember same behavior in Access 2.0.

Yes, if I drag the group, the TB's go with it in unison.

The toggle buttons in the option group do not have after update
events. I don't think they are updateable objects anyway.

Are you sure that you have "[Event Procedure]"entered in the event property for
the group?

Am I sure? As sure as I am that I launched MS Access before
running the procedure. You sould like me when I did tech support...
Is the monitor power cord plugged in? I me into a power outlet?
How about the switch. What I mean - is it flipped to the ON
position?

Here's the only code line in the OG's AU event:
MsgBox "After update event just fired"
Msg never displays after clicking any toggle button.
OG value is NEVER updated. All TB's have option
values set. I'm telling you, it does not work with TB's.
It does work with the radio bttns and check boxes.

That omission happens all the time in these groups.

I admit I didn't run a test before because I felt no need to, but I did just now
(Access 97) and I saw the MsgBox in my AfterUpdate event with RadioButtons and
when I changed them to ToggleButtons I still got the MsgBox. I see no change in
behavior at all.

Just got to work and ran the same test in Access 2000, 2002, and 2003. The
AfterUpdate fired correctly in all versions with ToggleButtons.

I also tested in Ac 97: No problem

To MLH: "Try it again, maybe on a blank form (that's what I did ;-)) "
The switch might be in the ON position, but how about the current ??
Do you see the light ?? <g> (just kidding)

I also do tech support sometimes with my own apps...

I use toggle buttons all the time in option groups in A97 and A2003 and
have never ever had this problem.

Has the option group been renamed after you put the after update code
in? This will "orphan" blocks of code in your form module (unless name
autocorrect somehow takes care of this, but I have ALWAYS turned name
autocorrupt off after hearing frequent advice from Tony Toews to avoid
this apparantly plagureed feature - could this be part of your problem,
I wonder?)

Though I've never use the wizard to do it. So try building one without
the wizard.

Delete your current option group and build it by using the form design
view tool box. Bring in an option group and enter toggle buttons one at
a time into the option group frame, altering the caption property to the
name of the month. Don't copy existing button - or if you do, make sure
you chnage the option value so that all 12 toggle buttons have different
values. Then set up your after action event for the option group.

That will work. If it doesn't, you're doing somehting fundamentally
wrong I can't figure out from what you've written.
