I have 5 possible key players, with 5 corresponding fields. If field one is
selected I would like for the second to show up, but not visible until then. I have created a macro with the following code, but I get a mismatch error. [Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List1]=True Action = SetValue Item: [Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List2].[Visible] Expression: No Any Advice? Thanks

It would be helpful to know what data type your fields are, but in general
you can do something like this in the Current Event of your form. [Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List2].[Visible] = [Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List1] = True -- Lynn Trapp Microsoft MVP (Access) www.ltcomputerdesigns.com "Smiley01" wrote in message ...

Smiley,
What is the Date Type of data_KeyPlayers_List1? Using a Condition of this =True would indicate this is a Yes/No data type. If you mean is there any data entered in there, maybe it should be like this... [data_KeyPlayers_List1] Is Not Null By the way, since this Condition relates to the a control on the same form as the macro is being run from, you don't need the [Forms]!... qualifier. -- Steve Schapel, Microsoft Access MVP Smiley01 wrote: I have 5 possible key players, with 5 corresponding fields.

In that case, change my suggestion to
[Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List2].[Visible] = Not IsNull([Forms]![frm_EnterData]![data_KeyPlayers_List1]) -- Lynn Trapp Microsoft MVP (Access) www.ltcomputerdesigns.com
