check boxes

[lee123]

how do you use a check box in a form, lets say you have a question (that needs to be answered) on a form and you have three check boxes and one is the right answer and two is wrong answer. if they pick one and its not the right answer. how would you make it so they couldn't change there answer. another words is if they pick the wrong answer the answer would stay checked and they couldn't check any other one to change there answer and be forced to go to the next question.

For these kinds of things what you do is use the command button to finialize their answer. Once the table has a value inside the field it is referencing with the text box you lock the control and set the enabled property to disabled.

Firstly, you'll want to use an option group rather than just a regular check box. An option group is a frame that contain several controls(like checkboxes) that each have a unique value a user may select only on option in a frame at a time. The frame itself is what is bound to and passes the value to the table.
That said if you want the user to be forced to move to the next question you use the afterupdate event of the frame to either close the form and open the next form or move the focus to the next question on the same form and lock the frame.

is there a code that goes behind the option box or the check boxes?

ok i figured it out but know i have in the footer of the form two txtboxes named correct and another one named incorrect whats the code for this ...i mean how do i use the count function for these two txtboxes to count the correct and the incorrect is there a way to put this in vba or in the txtbox itself

You need to share with us which controls (with names) are on your form. From there we could put in a formula which will count your results.

On the form i have three checkboxes and a button:

Names:

Question 1

1 - CheckA
2 - CheckB
3 - CheckC


Question 2:

1 - Cb1
2 - Cb2
3 - Cb3

And a button

Question 3


1 - Checkbox1
2 - Checkbox2
3 - Checkbox3

And a button

And a button called:

1 - CheckAnswerButt on

In the footer of the form i have two text boxes:


1 - Correct
2 - Incorrect

I want to be able to have the correct answers to be put in the "Correct" box and the "Incorrect" be put in the "Incorrectb ox"

Thanks

What do all the buttons do?
How am I supposed to know which CheckBoxes (you should really be using Frames with RadioButtons by the way) represent a correct answer?

Please make the effort to read your post before submitting it. It is much easier to deal with questions when they make proper sense.

ok the user has a question that he has to answer, underneath the question there are three check boxes (answers), one is the correct answer and two are the wrong answer.
all the checkboxes have a msgbox that pops up and tells the user if it's "correct" or "incorrect" for example :

(question) what's 20 + 20 =

checkbox1(15) or checkbox2 (25) or checkbox3 (40)

the user would check (checkbox3(40) ) and click a button named 'answerbutton" to check his answer

in this case the correct answer is (40) a msgbox would popup and have "correct"
but if they didn't know that it was forty and they chose (25) a msgbox would appear and say: "incorrect! "

there is going to be several questions on a form like this


then in the footer of the form there are two textboxes one is a txtbox (correct) and the other is (incorrect) if there is a way to count how many times they get an answer "correct" or "incorrect" that would be cool but if there isn't then i'll have to try something else
