Question about Coding an Outlook Form

[Blue]

Hello All,

I'm trying to make one of my textboxes visible only if a certain option button is selected. Currently I have the textbox set to hidden in the properties...I just don't know how to script this event in outlook...I thought something like this would work:

If optSpecial1 = True Then
txtSpecial.Visible = True
End If

But it didn't or maybe I'm missing something...So if anyone can lead me to the right direction that I would appreiciate it...Thank you in advance

You can only refer to standard form properties by name. Any other
object, like controls, you have to explicitly find by starting from the
page collection, then the controls collection, and then use .value to
get the value of the checkbox. Www.slipstick.com has a page about
referencing controls. Go there and search for it.

The event depends on whether the option button is bound to an Outlook
property. It could be the item's PropertyChange or CustomPropertyChange
event or the control's Click event. See
