HIDING AN IMAGE BASED ON COMBO BOX VALUE

I'm sure there are easier ways, but... I have a combo box that has 5
possibilities (one of which is "sold"). When the combobox.value= Sold,
I want an image to appear, otherwise to not be visible. So, I thought
I do an If Then Else statement, but it doesn't seem to be working...
I'm not entirely too proficient at access programming (enough to be
dangerous), but I did:

*************** ***
If combobox.value = Sold then
image11.visible = true
else
image11.visible = false
End if
*************** ***

I've placed this OnLoad, OnCurrent, OnChange, AfterUpdate, etc.. But
it just won't work. It shows up on a new form just fine, but when I
change status it disappears and will not come back when status is
changed to sold in the combo box. What am I doing wrong?

How many columns are in your combo.
The statement is looking at column 0 ie the first one
That is often a number in which case your sold should be replaced with the
relevant number for sold

I currently have a form with several combo boxes. I have the background properties and boarder properties of all form fields set as transparent. Therefore, the only part of the controls that are visible, is just the drop down arrow button on the combo boxes. Is there a way of hiding this button until the field has focus? Thank you for your help Tim G

Hi, I have a form based on a table. When I filter the form I want to run a report based on the same table with the same filter as the form. No problem until I want to filter a combo box where the text value is on a different table. The me.filter is then a text instead of the id-number from the lookup table. This causes the report to prompt for the parameter. How do I get by this problem? Do I need to create a temporary table? I rather...

I have a combo and a datagrid in a page. Combo box values are loaded on page_Load. Datagrid is populated based on values selected in the combo (I am using selectedIndexchange event) I need to make a default value for the combo(first value available) and populate the datagrid based on this value on page_Load itself.(Applicable to many pages in my application) I tried changing the selectedindex = 1. But the change event is not firing.

I have a field that I would like to display on a report only if the value of another field matches a certain criteria. If it does match I need the label & the field value to display (though I'm sure I can create a text box joining the label & the field). If it does not match, then I need the label/field (or text box) to be hidden. Any suggestions? Also, there are multiple values (maybe 5) that would meet the criteria (they are being...

Hello amazing vba writers, I am trying to make a combo box return a value based on a combo box selection. I have tried a number of the codes posted here and am still having problems. I think it is because I am trying to return a value from a table that only links with the form through an intermediate table. I am hoping to avoid a subform for this one box if at all possible, because of space limitations. Any guidance would be greatly...

I have a group of 20 images (.jpg) formats that I want to incorporate with my new access database that will dynamically display the image on the form based on the value that I select from the combo-drop down box or list box. I have no problem creating the combo-drop down box or list box, but I need assistance on the image part. I can create this method in VB 6, but have not tried in MSAccess 2000 or 2003. Thanks.

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

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. 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.
