I am trying to change the label color of a checkbox on a subform if it is checked.
The code I have so far is: - Private Sub Emergency_Contact_Click()
-
If Me.Emergency Contact = True Then
-
Me.Label23.BackColor = vbYellow
-
Me.Label23.BackStyle = 1
-
Else
-
Me.Label23.ForeColor = RGB(0, 0, 0)
-
Me.Label23.BackStyle = 1
-
End If
-
End Sub
The problem is that when the checkbox is checked, the label is highlighted for all records. I only want the label to be highlighted for the individual record in which the checkbox is checked.
Is there a work-around for this problem?
Thanks,
Yappy

You could look at Conditional Formatting, but otherwise it can't work. See Why Values in Unbound Form Controls do not Persist if you need an explanation why. Conditional Formatting only works with controls that contain data of course though, so you will need to be a little creative.
Conditional Formatting is greyed out when I click on the label or the check box in design view. Does this mean I am unable to use conditional formatting?

Certainly not for those controls (The label contains no data and the CheckBox has nothing to format).
If you were to create a TextBox though, that reflected the value in the CheckBox, this could be used to highlight checked records. This was where I was leading when I posted "so you will need to be a little creative".
Ok. So I created the text box as you suggested and set the conditional formatting. The formatting is not working. Here is the code that I have in the text box: - =IIf([Emergency Contact]="-1","Yes","NO")
The conditional formatting is as follows:
Field Value is equal to Yes then fill is Yellow
Please help. Thanks!

You seem to be misunderstandin g the different types of values :
"-1" <> -1
"Yes" <> Yes
The two values on the left are string values, whereas those on the right are numeric (Yes is a Boolean, but also numeric). If you must turn the TextBox value into a string (It would probably suit your purpose better to keep it as the value of [Emergency Contact] and simply use the .Format property to display Yes or No as required.), I would use the following for your IIf() statement as comparing a Boolean value to True or False is superfluous (as it already is either True or False) : - =IIf([Emergency Contact], 'Yes', 'No')
