Question

I am building a report in access 2007, and trying to set a checkbox to true based on the value of a string in a textbox.
For example: If txtBoxValue = “Injury” then chkBoxValue = True(Checked) Else chkBoxValue = False(unchecked).

This is the value I have in the source control of chkBoxValue.

=IIf([txtBoxValue]=”Injury”,1,0)

I am new to VBA, and any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

This should work as the control source of chkBoxValue:

=([txtBoxValue]="Injury")

Be careful about the quotes you use in VBA code. Notice you used ” (ASCII 148) and I used ” (ASCII 34).

Edit: As @nicholas pointed out, that control source expression will give you Null when [txtBoxValue] is Null. If you prefer False instead, add the Nz() function.

=(Nz([txtBoxValue],"")="Injury")
