In the detail section of a report I want to hide a checkbox control and it's label if the value of the control is false. I sort of expected the following to work. -
Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
-
If Me.CheckBox1 = True then
-
Me.CheckBox1.Visible = True
-
Else
-
Me.CheckBox1.Visible = False
-
End If
-
'or, more obscurely, in one line "Me.CheckBox1.Visible = Me.CheckBox1"
-
End Sub
-
However, it DOESN'T!! The code has no effect at all. If I replace it by just one line ... -
Me.CheckBox1.Visible = False 'just for experimental purposes
-
... again, the code seems to have no effect at all. Check box still there!!!
I'm sure (thinking back to my ancient Access 2003 days) I was able to do this conditional report formatting once upon a time. This granny possibly approaching senility.

Hi juliet -
If you could do one little thing, which is to insert
somewhere in the subroutine, and then try running it again, this might shed light on the problem. I think it might be possible that your subroutine isn't even running; whether the message box shows up or not will tell us if that is the case.

Thnaks ... that is a good idea, but actually I already tried it! The sub is running, but not doing what I told it!!! I'll let you know if/when I solve the problem.

Disobedient procedures!! Shock! Horror!
Have you tried tracing through the code ( Debugging in VBA) Juliet, to determine which actual lines of code are executing, and if the specific line is executing, what is happening?

In asking my question, I was trying to get at when exactly this event runs.
For the mock report that I made, I found that the event runs when you hit "Print Preview", but it does not seem to run when you simply "Open" the report.
So, when I inserted the code - Private Sub Detail_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
-
-
Me.chkTest.Visible = Me.chkTest
-
-
End Sub
I found that it worked fine in Print Preview and Export to PDF. But it did not work with Open.

Does anybody knows a workaround this problem?

Hi all,
I'm working on a report display page that currently uses 5
checkboxlists with a total of 86 items to display values from 5
different tables in an Access database.
The page works fine now. On presenting it to the users they pointed
out that their users could change the values in the checkboxes and
then print them out, ultimately documenting false information.

Hi -
Is it possible to hide the detail section of a report at run time?
I have a report that prints all details, with summary lines. The user
would like the report ALSO with just summary lines.
It seems the simplest thing is to run the code (see below) once with
the detail section showing, and a second time hiding the detail
section. I can't figure out the code to do that and don't see it
posted.

I have a VS 2008 ASP.NET webform that has a reportview tag on it, accessing
an .RLDC report in local report.
The columns for the report are essentially:
Month Item #1 Item#2 Item#3
I would like to add a checkbox or dropdown control to the .RLDC and have
Item #1, Item #2, or Item #3 display conditionally based on a checkbox being
clicked or a dropdown value being selected.

This code snippet is just a little bit of fun.
It demonstrates how you use JavaScript and CSS to show or hide columns in a table depending on whether or not a checkbox corresponding with the column is checked.
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowHideField(header, gridID, checkboxElement) {
var theGrid = document.getElementById(gridID);
var displayValue;
