Hi,

Does anyone know how to create an option button that will enable/disable a
field? I need to create a form that allows users to select from predefined
choices, one of which is 'Other'. If Other is selected, I would like a
corresponding disabled text box to enabled so that they can enter text.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks & Ciao,

Tony

You can use the standard option button on your form, but do not bind it to a
field. Then use the click event to do the processing you want to do. Go to
www.slipstick.com and do a search on 'unbound control', without the quote.
One of the resultset items will tell you how to use unbound controls and
their limitations.

Hollis,

Thanks for the reply. Took a look and it looks like I'm pointed in the
correct direction.

On another point, you & I chatted a couple of years ago regarding MS 60MIK.
Good to see you're still here.

Thanks,

Tony

Like the great unwashed, or old soldiers, the unemployed never go away...

But, since my last MVP buddy claimed I had a bad attitude, I have been
restricting my messaging to 3 or 4 per day so I won't think I own the place.
It just seems like I disappeared.

What's wrong with having a bad attitude? I think most initial posts are
generated by a bit of frustration so even if you do have a bad attitude, I
think you're in the right crowd. If the groups were congeniality contests,
very few of us would be in the running...

Ciao
