Setting up a form 'on load' event

[Noodle1791]

Hi,

I am trying to set up a form so that when it loads dependant on three check box states it will control the visibility of six buttons. each check box efectively controls the visibility state of two buttons. I came up with the code below but it always stops on the first 'IF' (CALIBRATE) with no errors. How do I make the code continue to effectively setup the form? I know its very basic but I have been googling for ages but to no avail. Thanks in advance!

Private Sub Form_Load()
If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
Me.Command43.Visible = True
Me.Command46.Visible = False


ElseIf MAINTAIN.Value = True Then
Me.Command44.Visible = True
Me.Command47.Visible = False
ElseIf INSPECT.Value = True Then
Me.Command44.Visible = True
Me.Command47.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Hi Noodle1791

it looks like you do not have a option that covers calibrate. Value =false

what your asking is to check that calibrate is true, but what happens if it's false?

If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
 Me.Command43.Visible = True
 Me.Command46.Visible = False
ElseIf CALIBRATE.Value = false

rest of the code here

Hi Noodle1791

below is an example of some code I use that checks a checkbox on a forms on load event, AssetDisposedOf is a checkbox field

If Me.AssetDisposedOf = True Then
      Me.Command75.Enabled = False
      Me.Command76.Enabled = False  
   Else
      Me.Command75.Enabled = True
      Me.Command76.Enabled = True
     
   End If

hope this helps

Steve,

Thanks for the response. I tidied that up and for the first check box state this works perfectly. How could I then continue the theme so that my code looks at the next check box state and hides or displays a different button based on its state? The code below works for the first check box as you have advised.

If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
Me.Command43.Visible = True
Me.Command46.Visible = False
Else
Me.Command43.Visible = False
Me.Command46.Visible = True


'ElseIf MAINTAIN.Value = True Then
'Me.Command44.Visible = True
'Me.Command47.Visible = False
'Else
'Me.Command44.Visible = False
'Me.Command47.Visible = True


'ElseIf INSPECT.Value = True Then
'Me.Command45.Visible = True
'Me.Command48.Visible = False
'Else
'Me.Command45.Visible = True
'Me.Command48.Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Hi Mate

personally when I do this I break each if out separately to test my logic something like the example below

If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
 Me.Command43.Visible = True
 Me.Command46.Visible = False
 Else
 Me.Command43.Visible = False
 Me.Command46.Visible = True
end if


if MAINTAIN.Value = True Then
 Me.Command44.Visible = True
 Me.Command47.Visible = False
 Else
 Me.Command44.Visible = False
 Me.Command47.Visible = True
end if

if INSPECT.Value = True Then
 Me.Command45.Visible = True
 Me.Command48.Visible = False
 Else
 Me.Command45.Visible = True
 Me.Command48.Visible = False
end if
end sub

which I suppose could then be shown like this

If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
 Me.Command43.Visible = True
 Me.Command46.Visible = False

 Elseif calibrate.value=false then
 Me.Command43.Visible = False
 Me.Command46.Visible = True

ElseIf MAINTAIN.Value = True Then
Me.Command44.Visible = True
Me.Command47.Visible = False

ElseIf MAINTAIN.Value = False Then
Me.Command44.Visible = false
Me.Command47.Visible = true

ElseIf INSPECT.Value = True Then
Me.Command45.Visible = True
Me.Command48.Visible = False

Elseif INSPECT.VAlue=false then
Me.Command45.Visible = True
Me.Command48.Visible = False
 End If
 End Sub

hope this helps put you in the right direction

Steve,

Thanks so much! I couldn't see the wood for the trees and knew it was simple. Thanks a lot, have a good day. The following works perfectly!

Private Sub Form_Load()
If CALIBRATE.Value = True Then
Me.Command43.Visible = True
Me.Command46.Visible = False
Else
Me.Command43.Visible = False
Me.Command46.Visible = True
End If


If MAINTAIN.Value = True Then
Me.Command44.Visible = True
Me.Command47.Visible = False
Else
Me.Command44.Visible = False
Me.Command47.Visible = True
End If


If INSPECT.Value = True Then
Me.Command45.Visible = True
Me.Command48.Visible = False
Else
Me.Command45.Visible = False
Me.Command48.Visible = True
End If
End Sub
