Toggle buttons: need expert help
I am trying to apply the same technique used in the customer contact form in
the Northwind Database for my own. I have done something similar in another DB using radar buttons and it works fine. For this one I am using toggle buttons for the letters A-S and "All" (for all records). I have used the "option group" wizard so I know they are toggle buttons and each button has its own option value. As it is in "Northwind", the option group is in the footer of the form. For some reason, the buttons won't stay depressed. Can someone possibly enlighten me? |

Hello
there isn't an onclick event code. What are you referring to? I sorted out my other problem. I redid the two forms so I don't what happened.

I have tried creating an option group in a blank form and the toggle buttons works fine. Now I don't know why my other form won't work.

I can't believe I have been such an idiot. On the data tab in the form
properties I had all the data options set to "no". doh! "Wayne-I-M" wrote: Hi Can you post the OnClick event code -- Buon Natale, Happy Chritmas. Wayne Manchester, England.

Hi
I suggest you simply delete that toggle group from the form where it is not working and use the wizard to create another one. The OnClick event is what you want to happen when you click (press) one of the buttons in the group. You need to tell your DataBase what the group does. It could set the value of another field, save the "option" to a table, etc,etc. Basically what does the option group "do". If you could let us have some idea of the "reason" you have the option group it may be that someone could help you -- Buon Natale, Happy Chritmas. Wayne Manchester, England.

Hi -
Check the AfterUpdate action of the group itself. This is where your action occurs, not under each button Bob scubadiver wrote: I have tried creating an option group in a blank form and the toggle buttons works fine.
