I have built a form and in one area I have placed a "Check Box".

When checked the box takes me to another form which the viewer needs to fill out. Everything works fine to this point.

My question is this. If we go back later to update the original form and "UnCheck" the check box, the new form pops open again. Is there a way of turning this feature off or adjusted so that the new form will "only" open when the box is originally "checked" and not when it's unchecked?

Thanks.

Yes. How are you triggering the opening of the window in the first place? In a onChange action? Wherever it is, hopefully you're using VBA (module) code and not macro code to do it. You'll have more control in VBA. Then, before you open the second form, just do a test on the value of the checkbox. If it's TRUE, open the form, otherwise don't.

On Click Event:



If Me.chkBox.Value then
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmMyForm"
else
'do not open the form
end if
