zac123-

It's been almost 4 years since you figured this out and I'm hoping that you're still on here. :-)

The references you put, chk_, lbl_, txt_, did you make the fields in the database that name? Is this something that the code assigns? I'm new to Access, and I'm trying to figure out basically the same action (click a check box and the appropriate data entry boxes and labels appear on the form). Here's my names:

Database name: Table1
Form Name: Add Event
Check box name: CinderTM
Data box labels to appear: Cinder1C-Freq, Cinder1C-Bits, Cinder1C-Mod, Cinder1C_Ext_Data_Dest1, Cinder1C_Ext_Data_Dest2,....Dest5
Data box field to appear: Cinder1C-Freq, Cinder1C-Bits, Cinder1C-Mod, Cinder1C_Ext_Data_Dest1 (Checkbox),....Dest5

Much appreciated as I've been beating my head on my desk for days now. Labels & Data boxes constantly appear and can't hide them.
