Linking checkboxes to a table

[OllyJ]

Hi there

I am a relative novice to VB within Access so bare with me, I hope you can help...

I have a form linked to a table on which I have 4 check boxes. The check boxes, when ticked put a '-1' value in the relevant field and a '0' if not. This I understand.

I have another form however, not bound to a table. On this form I would like 4 tick boxes, but only make them 'enabled' if they are ticked on the other form (there is a '-1' in the table). I would put this code into an 'on open' of this form.

Excuse my basic descriptions, as i say... relative novice!

Here is what the statement for one tickbox would look like in generic terms. You would need to replace the object names I used for illustrative purposes with the names actually used in your application. You would also create a similar statement for each checkox control on your unbound form

If DLookup("[Tickbox1]", "YourTable") = 0 then
        Me!txtCkbox1.Enabled = False
Else
        Me!txtCkbox1.Enabled = True
End If

Worked 1st time. I had to add criteria as well but managed to sort that myself.

Thank you very much for your help. OllyJ
