Checkbox and value not null

[Alaska1]

I have a check box for paid invoices and a field that has the dollar amount. If I put the dollar amount into the field, I want the checkbox to be checked off. Can I use the After Update? If so, Can I use the code similar to one I used for populating a field after a checkbox is checked?

Being too lazy to hunt for your other code, I'll say it would probably be similar. That said, what's the purpose of the checkbox. Testing the amount field for Null would give you the same result, with less effort.

Here is the code:

Private Sub Payroll_Error_AfterUpdate()
If Me.PayrollErrorOccuredCheck Then
Me.DataEntry1 = "Pay Error Occurred"
Else
Me.DataEntry1 = ""
End If
End Sub

As I said, it would be similar. Have you tried yet? You would check the dollar amount field (IsNull or > 0), and set the checkbox field. Have you considered not having the field? It's basically a calculated field, which we typically don't store.
