Determining if a check box is checked
February 23, 2008 12:00 AM
Brian, I don't know for sure if 2006 prevents any of this from working, but I wouldn't imagine that it would.I finally set my Submit button to perform the action only if AnswerA Is Empty, AnswerB Is Not Empty, and AnswerC Is Not Empty (assuming that B and C are the correct answer).The Else condition gave feedback that the checkboxes are not correct. This can be as simple as a single Text box saying, "Nope, try again," that hides after 5 seconds, but with seven possible check boxes and 128 possible combinations, I went for some more helpful feedback. I had a text box for each of the check boxes. When the Submit button is clicked, seven actions go off (in 2007, this is an Action Group, but seven different Actions can work for you). If a check box is wrong, then a specific feedback box shows. It's possible to have seven different boxes show up, but at least the user would then understand what he needs to select. If that makes any sense.Kevin
