MS Access Forum / New Users / December 2005check box on footer
is there some reason why a check box will not allow me to check it when it's on a form footer? There is no reason it should not allow it. Check a few things. Be sure the check box is Enabled Be sure the check box is not Locked Also, If you are trying to tab to it, be aware you cannot tab from section to section. for example, if you have 4 controls in the detail section of the form, it will cycle through all the controls in the detail section 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, etc You will need to use the mouse to click on it directly. > is there some reason why a check box will not allow me to check it when > it's on a form footer? i am clicking with mouse. tried to add option group with two radio buttons and it would work either. this is a dialog form. What do you mean when you say dialog form? What properties do you have set for the form? Also, be sure the option group is enabled and not locked. > i am clicking with mouse. > tried to add option group with two radio buttons and it would work > either. > this is a dialog form. i meant it's modal. yes, of course the radio and check boxes are enabled and not locked. i added an on click method for check box and it doesn't fire. ? Sometimes it is necessary to ask obvious questions. I have tested both an option group and a check box in a form footer and have no problem with either. There is something about the control or the form that is causing this, but without it in front of me, it is hard to tell. > i meant it's modal. > yes, of course the radio and check boxes are enabled and not locked. > i added an on click method for check box and it doesn't fire. > ? looks like my bad. i have allow edits, deletions, additions, data entry all set to no on the detail so apparently i can't update a checkbox or radio button. i need to protect the data being displayed in continuous form from edits. is there another way? can i put a read only attrib on the data source? Look in VB Editor Help for the OpenForm method. You can use the Data Mode argument. Which constant you use will depend on what you want the behaviour of the form to be. > looks like my bad. > i have allow edits, deletions, additions, data entry all set to no on [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > is there another way? > can i put a read only attrib on the data source? i locked the fields that needed locking and allowed edits on the form and i'm good to go. thanks for causing me to take a harder look. theis form has been in use for a long while and i haven't really had top mess with it so i forgot what made it tick. i take it back - this form is not modal. just a regular ol form. i have command buttons on the footer and they work fine. |
