I am trying the following code in a TextBox of a Report.
We need to type the "Department of... " according to the different program a
student is registered.

Any suggestion wilol be appreciated.

Thank you




Function EquivalenceDepartment(strTypeDepartment As Variant) As String
Select Case strTypeDepartment

Case ProgBPh = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of philosophy"
Case ProgMPh = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of philosophy"
Case ProgCPh = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of philosophy"
Case ProgBThIFTM = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of theology"
Case ProgBThLatran = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of theology"
Case ProgCTh = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of theology"
Case ProgMThP = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of pastoral"
Case ProgDESS = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of pastoral"
Case ProgMDiv = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of pastoral"
Case ProgCPF = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of pastoral"
Case ProgCSPI = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of pastoral"
Case ProgBA = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Department of philosophy"
Case ProgAU = Yes
EquivalenceDepartment = "Other"
End Select
End Function
 
Thank you,

I learn something new with the instruction "Select Case True".

But I think the rest of the code will not work, since you have already said
"it appears that only one of the check boxes can be selected"..
Because a student can be registered in more than one program, so 2 or 3
check boxes, we will have to introduce a new field [Department] in the table
[tblIncriptionTable] so the that the secretary will have to type only one
department for each student.

Thank you again.
 
How do you want to display multiple departments on the form?
Maybe using a subform instead of all those check boxes??
Seems like you need a many-many junction table to keep track
of which students are in which departments.
I don't understand what you are saying about adding a field
to tblIncriptionTable??

In the tblInscription I will add the [Departement] field with these 3
values: "Philosophy";"Theology";"Pastoral" in the combo box. So that the
secretary will write only one of these 3 values through the frmInscription
for each student. She will keep on checking the programm boxes.
 
Thanks and sorry to answer lately.

You are right, about the problem of multiple departments. It will be easier
to reduce the multiple programst to one. The departments are only 3 of them,
meanwhile the programs are 14. So the the secretary will decide the
department to choose.

Thank you again.

What combo box???

If a student can be in more that one department, how can one
field keep track of more than one thing?
