Enabling fields based on multiple criteria

[HelloWorld]

I am trying to enable / disable fields based off of a combo boxes value .
here is my code. I am trying to enforce that if either "Coach Operator" or
Coach Technician" is chosen then certain fields are enabled ... else ... the
fields are disabled .

Here is my code
Private Sub Position_AfterUpdate()
If Me!Position = "Coach Operator" or "Coach Technician" Then
Me.Conviction_DUI.Enabled = True
Me.Conviction_DUI__Date.Enabled = True
Me.Conviction_DUI_Explain.Enabled = True
Me.Ctl10_Year.Enabled = True

Else
Me.Conviction_DUI.Enabled = False
Me.Conviction_DUI__Date.Enabled = False
Me.Conviction_DUI_Explain.Enabled = False
Me.Ctl10_Year.Enabled = False
' Debug Code - Returns The Value of .Position- MsgBox "Position contains
" & Me.Position

End If
End Sub


thanks guys

Try this

Me.Conviction_DUI.Enabled = (Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Operator" or
Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Technician")
Me.Conviction_DUI__Date.Enabled = (Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Operator" or
Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Technician")
Me.Conviction_DUI_Explain.Enabled = (Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Operator"
or Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Technician")
Me.Ctl10_Year.Enabled = (Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Operator" or
Nz(Me!Position,"") = "Coach Technician")

Put the code on the After update event of the combo, and on the OnCurrent
event of the form, if you move between records

This is easier to read.

Dim bEnabled as boolean

bEnabled = (NZ(me.Position, "") = "Coach Operator") _
OR (NZ(me.Position, "") = "Coach Technician")
Me.Conviction_DUI.Enabled = bEnabled
Me.Conviction_DUI__Date.Enabled = bEnabled
Me.Conviction_DUI_Explain.Enabled = bEnabled
Me.Ctl10_Year.Enabled = bEnabled

HTH
