help with check boxes

[Kai St-Louis]

Hi, I am trying to show a value in a field when a check box is checked,
example: if the box is checked, value of $ 15.00 appears. What is the
function or expression for this?

Thank you

Kai St-Louis

If this value is to be displayed in a calculated control (the value isn't going
to be stored), then you can set the control's "control source" to:

=IIF(Me.chkBox. Value, 15, 0)

If you want to assign the value to a control bound to a field in the form's
recordsource you could do it this way:

'****
If Me.chkBox.Value Then
Me.MyControlNam e.Value = 15
Else
Me.MyControlNam e.Value = 0 'Or "Null", if more appropriate
End If
'****

In either of the examples above, set the control's "Format" property to
"Currency".

I generally discourage the use of hard-coded values, so, if this value is likely
to change you should store it in a table and then you can look it up using the
"DLookup()" function or a recordset when needed.
