Help with setting a label to Visible

[mmurphmsu]

I have an access data base we use to create reminder letters for our dr's patients. The patients appts are imported into access, a query ran on the data and report is used to make the actual letter. I want to add a custom txt box or label for one of the dr's but want to do it based on the dr's name. Here is the code i have:

If (Me.RESC_NAME = "Dr name taken out for security purpose") Then
Me.txtTurner.Properties.Visible = True
Else
Me.txtTurner.Properties.Visible = False
End If

if I just do me. to see what options i get, the txtTurner is not in the list but other text boxes and labels are. Any ideas?

I have also tried this on a click event:

If (Me.RESC_NAME = "Dr name") Then
Report_CNT.txtTurner.Properties.Application.Visibl e = True
Else
Report_CNT.txtTurner.Properties.Application.Visibl e = False
End If

and that didn't work either.

It looks like you want to use iif in the field definition
IIf(expr, truepart, falsepart)
so iif("DrName = ""Whatever""", replacement, DrName)
and the replacement can just be "" if you want.

Your basic syntax is incorrect.

Me.txtTurner.Properties.Visible = True

should simply be

Me.txtTurner.Visible = True

ChipR: That did the trick. I very much appreciate your help. I spent all most all day yesterday trying to get this to work.
