 |
|
I'm trying to find a tutorial that would explain how to do the following sort of thing with forms...
Basically IF field #1 contains x THEN display input #3 ELSE display input #4
Lets say input #1 is a combo box and you can choose from two options. If you choose option one, an additional field that accepts an arbitrary text string appears. If you choose option #2 then a couple additional fields appear that only accept date/time. (just an example).
any help would be appreciated. |

Welcome to the forum and I am sorry that you have not already received a reply.
It might be possible to help if one had a better understanding of what you are aiming for. The title of the thread refers to sub-forms whereas your post appears to be directed to the visibility of fields. It would help, also, if you were to outline the relevant parts of the structure of your database and how these relate to the task.

Untested Basic code for the subform's reloading event:
| Code: | Sub form_reloaded(ev)
frm = ev.Source
b = frm.isFirst()
m = frm.getControlModels()
For i = 0 to uBound(m)
ctrl = m(i)
ps = ctrl.PropertySetInfo
if ps.hasPropertyByName("EnableVisible" then ctrl.EnableVisible = b
Next
end sub
