Hi,
im after a option group that stores multiple values, the only way, long winded as it will be is to create a table with all the values then have tickboxes for all of them.
Is there a simpler cleaner way?
Hello,
I am not sure what cateogory to choose for this question but I would greatly appreciate your help.
I have 5 buttons in my option group:
1. very often
2. often
3. occasionally
4. rarely
5. never
I have to produce a report using description of each button in my report, not numeric value. I heard something about global variable but I am not sure how to do it.
Many thanks,
Debbie
I have five Option Groups on my form. I was running into a problem where after selecting options for one record and then moving onto the next record, the previous options would stay selected for the new record.
I "thought" I had found a solution by setting the Option Group values to Null in the OnCurrent event of the form, but I found a problem in that when going back to a previous record, it is nulling out the previously selected options. Doh!
Any ideas on how to get around this problem? I want to be able to go from one record to the next without carried over options, but I also want to be able to go back to already entered records without having them nulled out.
I have created an option group with two buttons (New, Used). In another text box I used a formula taking values true or false on option group. The formula is not working. It goes like this.
=IIf([radNew],[/U][/B]Null,IIf([radUsed],[/B]IIf([txtAgeofCar]<184,[txtExciseinTotal]=Null............
Hi there,
I inserted an option group with 3 checkboxes (Yes, No, Re-open). My problem is that I see the values of these checkboxes (1=yes, 2=no, 3=re-open) in my table. I want to see just text and no number. How's that possible ?
Thanks

Hi,
I am using group options and they store a number instead of the vaules you typed in, is there anyway of making a group option that will store values and not numbers?
I want to create an opion group with two rad buttons in it. The values of those button wont be values but as true or false in order to use it in another text box to performa calculations. EX.
=IIf([radNew],"Hello",IIf([radUsed],IIf([txtAgeofCar]<184,[txtExciseinTotal]=Null,IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 185 And 365,[txtExciseinTotal]*(-0.15),IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 366 And 1095,[txtExciseinTotal]*(-0.2),IIf([txtAgeofCar] Between 1096 And 1825,[txtExciseinTotal]*(0),IIf([txtAgeofCar]>1825,[txtExciseinTotal]*(0.25))))))))
As you can see radNew and radUsed are the Options Buttons. Its not working in an option group.
Thanks in advance
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>.
Hello -
I have an option group on a form, that has 4 possible options. I need to allow the user to select any combination of the 4 options, to be stored in fields in another table.
By default, the option group only allows one to be selected (hence the name "option"? ;) Maybe I should proceed a different way?
Help would be appreciated!
I have a form with 5 options in a group. This works fine when I only have 1 filter applied to each button. I need to select the "Not Collected" button and have it filter out and show "Collected = No" and "Deleted = No". Here is my code..Case 3 is the one I'm currently working on. I can get the others once I figure out the first one.
Private Sub Frame799_Click()
Select Case Frame799
Case 1
[Code].....
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

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.
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
At present I have a form which is used to select a date range then using one of three buttons I can select one of three reports. I want to use an Option Group with three options to replace the three buttons. I have fiddled around using three separate Option Buttons and they work ok but in my opinion they are not the way to go. I need some assistance with the code as the Option Group is slightly different to the Option Buttons.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a very simple option group, status 1, 2 , 3 or 4. When the status of the group is changed i have the following code used to label txtStatusChangeAudit which lables who changed it based on the log in name. I have this code for each of the four options. The code works great but when i leave the form and come back to it the txtStatusChangeAudit that holds the code is now blank. When i click an option it again shows the information i want.
How do i get the form to save this information so when i leave the form and come back to it the last person to change the status will still be present?
Private Sub OpenOptionButton_GotFocus()
Me.StatusChangeAudit = "Status Open By; " & User.UserName & Space(1) & (Now)
End Sub
Thanks a million..

This should be an easy one.... I had an existing form. Needed a second form. But the two were so close I just added and option group to make certian fields visible when that option was picked. Now.... The problem is sorting or doing a query by the value of the option group. What I am thinking is I need to store the value of the option to a field. ie My option group is named "PickWO" the value is "1" or "2", so I added a field to my WO table... so how do I store the value of "1" or "2" to the new field? Hope this makes sense!
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have created an option group. There is a question and the response is yes, no or N/A. If the answer is no or N/A then I want to skip to the next question. If the answer is yes then I want to ask a follow up question. How would I make it so that when the answer is no or na and the user hits tab it would skip right over the follow up portion and move on to the next question?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHi,
I have a option group with several buttons. Is it possible to apply a msgbox to one of the buttons where it will ask the user "Are you sure you want to generate report to excel". I would like the user click ok to continue or cancel. I am not sure how to get this message box prior to the code running when the option button is pressed. Thanks you for your time.
Will someone look at my option group in my form (frmcustomer) and help me figure out why the option group selections for existing records nulls out (visually you cannot see which button had been previously selected).
The option group is working fine in that it is adding the appropriate selection to the record, but when you open the form up in edit mode the selection has been grayed out.
I have an Option Group with 3 choices...1,2 and 3. The default value is 2 as setup in the table default value setting.
I have a subform that has a check box and when checked I want the Option Group value to be "1" otherwise I want the default value of "2" or "3" to remain in the table. I can get all this to work through a Afterupdate code in the subform check box except the part where I want the value left at what
ever was in the option group part. Here is my code...
Private Sub Paperwork_Returned_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Paperwork_Returned = "yes" Then
Me.Parent.paperworkstatus = "1"
Else
Me.Parent.paperworkstatus = False
End If
End Subvalue
I think the problem is in the "Else" part. The if trus seems to work but if false it will not leave the previouse value in the field.
This last little thing is the last thing I need to finish up. This board has taught me so much...most of all it has taught me that when somebody ask me if I am an advanced access user, I will have to say is anyone? This program is so powerful and I can take a lifetime to master, or so it seems.
Thank you!
I have an option group set up on my form that represents four different sheets. I want to be able to select one and have a certin function occur (docmd.openquery) according to which button is selected. Any ideas? :confused:
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an option group, with two options buttons. I need to to be a required field. (I cant) make this required at the table level, as there are already 56K records).
I've tried on the before update on the form, making the frame tag = required. For some reason this is not working. Any idea's
Dim blnContinue As Boolean

blnContinue = True
For Each ctl In Me.Controls

Hi, all--
Perhaps a silly question:
I want to use an option group with a seperate check box for yes and no for a series of yes/no fields. I find that when I do this, once a record is started all have these items have "no" checked. I tried defaulting the value to null and other such things, but to no avail.
Any ideas (while retaining the concept)?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone,
I'm not sure if this is possible. I have a form (link to a table) with option boxes that when I click on one of the option boxes sets a value to a field in the table. The problem is that when I check a different option box I have to manually uncheck the other option box that was previously checked. Is there a way to have this done automatically? Meaning that if I check box 1 and then box 2, when I check box 2, then box 1 has to get Unchecked.
I also tried using a group option with different option boxes and that seems to work fine as far keeping only one option box checked, but don't know how to make the checked box to store its value to a table. Please help!
:confused:
Thanks!
I thought this would be easily found by searching the forum! But I had no luck.
Having trouble with an Option Group. I have an option group with 2 options, YES and NO. Value of Yes set to -1 and value of No set to 0. The field this is bound and is set to Yes/No. The problem is.... No matter what I try it keeps assigning a value to this field in my form! The option group is the last item on the form. Date being the first..... After you enter a date, and an auto number is created, it gives the option group a value of YES or "-1" There is nothing in the default value of the radio button, the frame, or the field to which it is bound. Why is this assigning a value and how can I stop it???? This group needs to remain blank to force the user to THINK before it has a value.
I have managed to get around this by changing the bound field to "Number" instead of a "Yes/No" .... But I am concerned with future queries and filtering. So is this the only way around this problem? Setting the field to "Number"?? And where is it pulling the value of the option group from when I have everything set to null??
Thanks

Hello All
Talk about frustrating and I am sure the answer will be easy for some.
I have a Main form with search criteria and a subform with the data. See the attached image for the layout. The data comes from a query.
I have a yes/no field called "CompletedP" that I want to use to search on. This field is to filter in/out completed jobs. The Frame is called the generic name "Frame60". I am using an option group with the choice of yes or no plus other search criteria using combo boxes. The combo box filtering is fine but the option box does not appear to form any part of the search. To search I select any of the boxes and select "Search".
I post the code here.
Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
