I added an Option Group / Radio Buttons to my form.
I named a few.
My question is no how to I test and run code based on the button that is selected.
If this then that?
I just am confused here.....if it was a txtbox I would say
If txtbox = ? then
End If
I am using an Access database for a foreign language dictionary project.
One of the forms I use is populated by a query (qryLemmaTable) to retrieve information from tblLEMMA.
This form works precisely as I intend it to work, but there is a glitch on it that is driving me mad.
The form in question has an option group with 11 radio buttons that correspond to the parts of speech associated with each word in tblLEMMA.
When I click on the button optAdjective I apply a filter and the only records that are displayed are adjectives. (The same applies for Nouns, Verbs, Prepositions etc.)
Here is the glitch: even though the radio buttons apply the filter correctly, no “black spot” appears in the button. Other signals on the screen let me know what word type is selected, so I can accomplish what I want, but I want the “black spots” too!
Perhaps this will be a clue: For each radio button I use the following code in the GotFocus event.
Me.FilterOn = False
Me.Filter = "wordtype = 'A'" ‘(or N, etc)
Me.FilterOn = True
And this for the Lost Focus event
Me.FilterOn = False
Thanks for the help.
I’m really stuck on how to create: Check Boxes/Option button/Option Group in VBA.
Could someone help on either all of them or some of them please?
Thanks

Hello, I wonder could anyone help, rescue and succour me.
As a former VB6 developer, I'm now working with wonderful Access VBA 2000 which makes the simplest operation such as creating a listbox or adding a control array into a living, breathing nightmare.
Today's incubus is option buttons.
Dear people, please tell me how it can be so hard to create a group of option buttons which are mutually exclusive and by whose value I can set another variable? I tried just sticking them on the screen, but then soon sobered up when I realised that Access would merrily allow me to select all of them if I so wished in joyous defiance of what an option button is actually FOR.
So I consulted the oxymoronic Help (even though it's impossible to construct an oxymoron with one word, this particular piece of functionality has somehow managed it) and was advised by same to create an option group. This I duly did - then realising that I had to set this property called Option Value 1,2, 3 etc. No sooner said than done. Anything to get it over with.
Now having different values, one would imagine that all I do is give each option button the same name. But no - control arrays in this environment would be like the discovery of the wheel in Caveman Land. So I google it and am told that I have to select the name of the option group.
Now where in all Christendom or Islamdom or NoGodsAtAllDom (in case Richard Dawkins is logged on and wants to help) can I find the name of this option group? Nowhere was I asked to assign an option group name, nowhere can I see a control that resembles an "option group", whatever that may be.
If someone could enlighten me I would be very grateful as a simple problem has once again taken hours thanks to the Access VBA environment. Grrrrrr
And thank you.
When I create an option group, the buttons or checkboxes appear to the left of the labels. Is there an easy way to make them come out on the right side of the labels? When I move them around manually it is hard to make the buttons align properly with the labels.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an option group with two toggle buttons. Is it possible to set up the option group such that only one toggle button is visible at any given time (i.e. the unselected option) So the group has a default value. Clicking the visible button should switch the value, hide the button (option) associated with that value and show the alternate button (option) for the alternate value?
Basically only having one visible button at any given time which toggles between the two values (but I'd like to retain it as an option group, rather than as two independent buttons, as that gives me a handy value from which to determine control sources elsewhere)
I've tried setting the visibility of the buttons from the AfterUpdate event of the option group but it doesn't work.
I know I can do this with independent buttons but was hoping there was a quick(er) and easy way to do it with an option group instead?
I stumbled upon the Option Group function just yesterday and, happy as a clam, I created a group with 2 options in radio button style. I assigned the values to a field called Registration_Type as the 2 options are "Confirmed Registrants" and "Prospective Attendees".
[Great. That part works well. When I look at the table, a 1 or a 2 is in that field so it's great to know how to control accidental ticking of radio buttons (previous 450 records or so didn't have this option group functionality so one might easily tick one of the buttons. So one part of controlling option group I know I can handle via the table itself for now.]
The challenge is how to ensure the user always ticks one or the other ... I went back to the main table and tested the 'required entry' option for the Registration_Type field but forcing an action like this is not ideal in my mind. The usual error message vagueness for the average user is no good and I don't want to limit the user so much.
Is there a way to simply have a popup come up warning that neither radio button was ticked? Perhaps something linked to the form - i.e., maybe "after update"?? I only learned about attaching code to before and after update on controls a couple of days ago, so not sure if this would be best approach.
Just something to let the user know that nothing has been ticked in the option group as that controls in which of 2 reports the data will show up in so any record not ticked might mean a registrant being left out, which would be rather disastrous <g>.
I have a table and a form called patient demo. It displays last name first name and address city state zip. I created another table and form called insurance as radio buttons i have the following self, spouse, child, other. It also displays last name first name address, city, state and zip as text boxes. what i want the radio button to do is when i click self it will copy all information from patient demo to insurance form. I tried to do this several ways but every time i change the information in the insurance form it also changes the patient demo which i dont want it to do because i want to edit that box without changing patient demo. any ideas.

I'm somewhat new to access and I'm having a small problem. I have create a web based form via Frontpage 2003 using the access database wizard. In one part of my form I have 6 different options (radio buttons) for a user to select. I want the user to be able to select "multiple options" that apply not just one which is all it is doing right now. How do I change this to allow multiple selection? I opened up my results table and went into the design mode and I can't figure out where to allow multiple selections. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi all
Just found this forum, looks great!
When a control like a check box or radio button is on a form, how can you make the size of the actual control bigger? When changing the size in Properties, it only increases the size of the black border.
Thanks
Rich
I have a database with 1 main form. This form has a bunch of lookup tables that are being displayed in comboboxes on the form.
What I want to do is create another form that has a series of radio buttons that when selected show the specific lookup table which can then be updated/modifyed.
I am unsure where to start. When they select one button I need the table to open "sub form?", "List Box?", and then when they choose another table the first should close and the next open etc. I want all of this to be done within 1 Form.....
Any thoughts?
I'm trying to tick "Yes" to a radio button which are side by side on a web page (Yes and No). The HTML is below and the VBA I'm trying to use is:
ie.Document.all.Item("newsletter").Checked = "0"
I've also tried
ie.Document.all.Item("newsletter").Checked = "True"
ie.Document.all.Item("newsletter").value = "True"
ie.Document.all.Item("newsletter").value= "0"
<table class="form"> <tr> <td>Subscribe:</td>
<td> <input type="radio" name="newsletter" value="1" /> Yes
<input type="radio" name="newsletter" value="0" checked="checked" /> No
</td> </tr> </table> </div>
I'm trying to build a database of car dealers while using Access 2010. They only sell three types of cars. Once the user select which car dealer they want to look at, I hoping to populate three radio buttons based on values from the database. From what I've read, it seems that the radio button, while using the option group wizard, that the radio buttons are meant to populate a database field, rather than having the database record populate the radio button.
how to do this, so that I am able to show three radio buttons in my form to show which three types of cars this specific car dealer sells?
How do you convert a combo box to a radio option?
I have made a table called level it has only one column and is only two values (udergrad and grad)
I have a form that sets requirements and in there I have the option to choose what level the requirement is on.
Instead of using a combo box for the level (with a select statement SELECT Level.LevelName FROM [Level]; )
I was wonder how I can conver the Level into two radio buttons one for undergrad the other for grad,
and depending on what was selected that value would be stored in the table.
thanks for any help
I have been writing a database for a medical facility. Currently, I have a box to check if a patient in the database is admitted. What I would like to do is create two radio buttons: one to admit and one to discharge.
When the patient is discharged, I want the data in some of the fields on the form(s) to clear, but not all the fields.
I realize the I will need some scripting here.
As an example: the fields for Unit and Room number will clear upon discharge. As well as fields for diagnosis and informed consent signature located on another form within the same table.
Hi
I've got an Option Group with 3 options; Yes, No and Future.
I also have a range of Check Boxes; 1 for every day of the week.
When one of the check boxes is selected I want the Option Group to change to Yes.
Currently, the Option Group defaults to Future and No will only be available by manually selecting it. This doesn't need to be changed.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
I have been tryign to work with Option Buttons and am not having much success. I have been looking on line for examples and I get close.
The example tells me to Set the GroupName Property although I can not seem to find it.
Basically what I do is use the wizard and select the Option Group and add that to the form. With the wizard I enter three Label Names and take the default Values.
I then add a Control Button and use the code below.
Result:
Everytime I click the Control Button it gives me all three MsgBox's. Its reading all the values in the Option Group NOT the one that is selected??????
CODE:
Private Sub Command11_Click()
Dim x As Control
For Each x In Me.Controls
If InStr(x.Name, "Value1") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value1"
ElseIf InStr(x.Name, "Value2") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value2"
ElseIf InStr(x.Name, "Value3") Then
MsgBox "You Selected Value3"
End If
Next
End Sub
I HAVE BEEN TRYING A FEW VARIATIONS AND I GET ERRORS WHEN USING THEM:
1. I changed the .Caption to .Name...IF I USE CAPTION it tells me that this "Object does not support this property or method"
'Check for the string "Option" within the caption of each control.
If InStr(x.Caption, "Option") Then
2. Dont knwo where GroupName is
'Check the group name.
If x.GroupName = "mygroup1" Then
MsgBox x.Caption
3. Value gets an error
'Check the status of the option button.
If x.Value = True Then
Below is the code that I used to make a Menu. The only problem is that when a report is opened, it is placed under the Menu form instead of on top of it.

On Error GoTo MyTrap
Select Case Me.Frame2
Case Is = 1
DoCmd.OpenForm "Resident from Last Name", acNormal
Case Is = 2

I need 2 option buttons created individually, as an option group has proven utterly worthless to me for what I need.
A simple Yes / No pair that toggle back and forth when clicked.
I would use an option group, but you cannot define an On Click Event Procedure on an Option group button, and I cannot set the value of an option to 1.06 or anything other than whole numbers.
I just want to set a simple On Click event for each to set a variable to one of 2 possible values.
Thanks
how to use option buttons? I've looked around, but I cant find any site, thread, etc, etc on how to fully use them. I have 3 option buttons, there "Retired" "Current" and "Not Stocking" I want them to be tied the the list box named "lstItems" that gets its info from a qryItems.
View 14 Replies View RelatedHi All,
Just wondered if anyone can help me with this.
I have a form based on a query that has 16 options for values in one of the fields. I wanted to put an option button for each value on a form that would allow the user to view the records based on which option buttons were selected and have the form update accordingly.
The way I've gone about it is to have some code in the after_update event thingimy of each option button that updates a boolean value in a table that's linked to the underlying query the form is based on - but this just seems a long way to go about this... plus it's not working...
I've searched the archives for clues on this but haven't come up with anything. So I just wondered, is there a better way than what I'm doing. I'm not after somebody to do this for me, just point me in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Peter
I have a form with a number of fields for users to enter data into, with a "Total" being calculated. The users also have the option to ignore these fields and just enter a total manually into a seperate "Totals" field.
I want to set the form up so that when the form is opened the manually entered "Totals" field is hidden, leaving users to enter the component values, with the total being calculated automatically.
However, I want to add an option button so that if users just want to type in a total manually rather than enter the component values, they click the option button and the manually entered "Totals" field appears and the other component fields become disabled. This would prevent both a calulated total and a manually entered total being entered into the form.
Any help on the code that I need to use when the option button is clicked would be greatly appreciated.
Hello,
I have a form named Welcome which I want to use as search menu for my database.
I have added 4 option buttons and a unique textbox into which users will write their query criteria.
My database has 4 queries and each option button should refer to one of them once selected
Obviously I will need a command button that will run the query.
Any help or code to do this? Thanks.
I have a switchboard which gives two selections. Upon selecting a menu item, the new menu appears. If I select from this new menu, it runs as it should do. However, upon returning to this second menu, the button remembers where it was instead of being cleared to select the same item, if desired, again. How can the option box button be cleared as do the switchboard buttons?

I have been helped out so many times in the past here I thought I would try my luck again.
Is it possible with the use of option buttons to change the row source of a listbox?
I want to use the listbox for a search criteria and thought it might be easier to have 1 listbox been updated from the choices made using a group of buttons.
I would like like the row source to be based on different tables maybe I might need to use queries.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
dear experts,
i am a student and i have a project to complete in 2days. i have managed to crawl through access and come up with forms and a functional query set. i need to create a search function for names and addresses. i manged to do a fisrt name search. i need to make an option for users to choose either first or last name and then search for the other details.
here is my situation, i need help connecting a radio button to a search form. allow me to illustrate my form.
************************************************** *******
first name : _________ (combo box) last name : _________ (combo box)
[0] (option button) [0] (option button)
SEARCH ( command button)
************************************************** ********
as of now, the first name combo is connected to the search button via a macro which launches the query with a value from the combo box. how do i make the user choose either option "first/last" and then make the search button search appropriately. please help me. i know this is elementary. i've spent too much time looking for a solution on my own. my time is running out to complete the project. and i've yet to create switch boards and all those other things. please! thanx all.
