Question Hi there,
I have a database that I have imported data into from an excel spreadhseet. Part of the spread sheet had three yes/no fields which I have made into tick boxes which works perfect. However there was a 4th field for comments. I have replicated this in my form however instead of having just the one comments text box I need to have 3 (one for each check box), now I want to import the text into said text boxes depending on which text box is selected.
i.e. 3 checkboxes a b and c, 3 text boxes a_txt b_txt c_txt, if checkbox B is selected I want the comment stored in MT1 to be placed into b_txt. If C is checked I want the comment stored in MT1 to be placed in c_txt.
I hope this makes sense and I would appreciate your help greatly.
Answer I don't think you need to do this. So before I provide a solution, I'd like to know more about your data table. What do the three checkboxes represent? Can only ONE be checked off at a time?
Hope this helps,
