check box

Jo - This sounds like an option group with radio buttons - only one can be selected, rather than two checkboxes. -- Daryl S "jo" wrote: Hi I have two check boxes on my form, and what I would like to happen is if one of the check boxes has been selected then the other check box is disabled so that the user can not check both boxes at the same time? Does any one have any code that can be put in place to do this? thanks Jo

Looks like it could be an incorrect error message. It should be complaining about duplicate fields. Another possible problem (less likely) is aliasing Outage.[WO-Number] AS [WO-Number] when you also have [Current Comments].[WO-Number]. SELECT Outage.WORK_ORDER_NBR , Outage.WORK_ORDER_TASK , Outage.WO_TSK_STATUS_DATE , Outage.SYSTEM_CODE , Outage.DISCIPLINE , Outage.WO_TSK_STATUS , Outage.[WO-Number] AS [WO-Number] , Outage.WORK_ORDER_TYPE ,...

Come to think of a query which joins the tables on BETWEENâ¦..AND criteria would not be updatable, do you would not be able to create an UPDATE query in fact. However, as I said in my final paragraph you don't need to do so in any case as you can just join the tables in a SELECT query and avoid the redundancy. This would not be updatable, but if you did want to update the item rows in a form which shows the category for each item,...

You cannot name a control "name" this is a reserved word and will lead to
problems (as you have found out).
For a complete listing of reserved words... see:

Change the name of your control, avoiding any reserved word, and your code
should work.
