Re: [MS_AccessPros] Refer to a checkbox on another form.

The first one that your have commented out is correct, but the error message tells the tale.  It thinks your frmMain is open in Design view.  Is it?

Have a form called frmMain which contain a check box control called checkModify. I also have a form called frmNewEditECabinet where in the Load event I need to check the state of checkModify on frmMain. I have tried the following, see the commented out lines:

Private Sub Form_Load()
'  If Forms!frmMain!checkModify.Value = True Then   'modify an eCabinet
'   If Forms("frmMain").checkModify.Value = True Then
   If Forms!frmMain.Form!checkModify.Value = True Then
   'If Forms![frmMain]![checkModify].Value = True Then
'   If ([Forms]![frmMain]![checkModify].Value = True) Then
  
  
  
    Me.cmbCurrentECabinet.Visible = True
        Me.txtFields11.Visible = False
        Me.cmdAddeIndex.Default = True
        Me.cmdAddeSubfolder.Enabled = False
        Me.lblSelectECabinet.Visible = True
        Me.cmdRenameECabinet.Visible = True
        Me.cmdDeleteECabinet.Visible = True
        Me.Caption = "Modify Existing eCabinet"
    Else                                  ' Creating a new eCabinet
        Me.cmdDone.Enabled = False
        initializeECabinetKey = False
        Me.lsteSubFolder.Enabled = False
        Me.cmdAddeSubfolder.Enabled = False
        cmdAdvancedOptions.Enabled = False
        cmdRefreshFrm.Enabled = False
        Me.cmdCancel.Visible = True
        Me.cmbCurrentECabinet.Visible = False
        Me.txtFields11.Visible = True
        Me.cmdSave.Visible = True
        Me.lblCabinetName.Visible = True
        Me.Caption = "Create New eCabinet"
    End If
End Sub

I get to kinds of errors given which If statement I try: 1. Property is not available in design mode. 2. THe expression you entered has a field, control, or property name that Microsoft Access can't find.

I know I can't be too far off...

Thank you,
