Toggle Button Reset

[Asif]

Is it possible to reset the toggle button by pressing another command
button i.e. press Button1 and the toggle button restores to its
original state i.e. not depressed?

Thanks

Yes. The other button sets the toggle to False, e.g.:

Me.[Toggle2].Value = False

Me.[Toggle2].Value = False

On the other hand is it possible to achieve the same thing but with
two toggle buttons i.e press Toggle2 and Toggle1 returns to its
original state likewise press Toggle1 and Toggle2 returns to its
original state?

Sure. Put them in an Option Group.

I have the same done by placing the buttons in a option group. The toggle
works fine. However....
After pressing a button for me a new form is opened and the "orginal" form
remains active. Closing the requested form I see that the togglebutton is
still showed as being pressed and cannot be pressed again unless I press
first another togglebutton.
Is there a way that the button gets "de-activated" after pressing it?
ofcours it should be possible to press it again without to close/start the
"buttonform".

Kind regards,
Harry

I was having a similar problem as mentioned above and what i did was
to add the following code in the mouse down event

Me.[Toggle1].Value = False

i.e. add the above code to Toggle2 in the mouse down event so that
when the user clicks on toggle2 then toggle1 returns to its original
state

hope that helps

Hi Asif,

Just after posting my responce I found out the solution I needed.
As always it is more simple as you've expected.

I have placed the toggle buttons in a option group. Just after executing the
command fe. open form bla bla I have placed the command
Me!OptionGroupControlName = Nul
This results in a reset of the togglebuttons.
So rename the OptionGroupControlName to the name of your optiongroup and
enjoy.

Greetings Harry
