I want to inhibit editing of one text box based on the content of another
The two text boxes are on the same form (subform3).
I want to inhibit the Quantity filed from being edited if the Status
field contains "Ship Requested".
The following code gives me an error 'Expected: list separator or )'
Private Sub Quantity_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
' Inhibit txtbox if the Status field is "Ship Requested"
IIf(me.Status = "Ship Requested"; me.AllowEdits = True, _
me.AllowEdits = False)
End Sub

I'm having a hard time with this... Are you saying put the same equation in two locations?

I did as you said and placed it in the two locations. It worked logically backwards from what I wanted, so I changed the equation to: Me.AllowEdits = [Status] <> "Ship Requested" It now works great! dispite the fact that I still do not understand it!

AllowEdits is a boolean field (i.e.: it accepts True or False). [Status] = "Ship Requested" and [Status] <> "Ship Requested" are boolean expressions (i.e.: they return True or False) I usually add parentheses to make it a little clearer: Me.AllowEdits = ([Status] <> "Ship Requested") Note that this is exactly the same as If [Status] <> "Ship Requested" Then Me.AllowEdits = True Else Me.AllowEdits = False End If -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no e-mails, please!)

Fred's code, placed as he's advised, will do the job. There were two problems with your code: First, you followed me.Status = "Ship Requested" with a semi-colon, instead of a comma, which was the cause of the 'Expected: list separator or )' error message. Secondly, IIF() is intended to be used to populate a value into a field. It would use syntax like this Me.Textbox = IIF(Me.Status = "Ship Requested", "ThisValue", "ThatValue") It cannot be use to set a form's property, as you tried to do. As always when doing this kind of thing, you need to have some strategy in place for dealing with the user incorrectly entering "Ship Requested" in the Status field. And this will happen! -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

It is not clear to me why I place the expression in TWO locations? And... By doing so, does it affect more than ONE text box? Thank you for you explanation! Bob Douglas J.

Thank you for your time in explaining the suntax and use of the IIF function! I could swear that the syntax I read had a semicolon???? Can you explain why it needed to be placed in TWO locations and in doing so how many text boxes it affects?

Placing it in the AfterUpdate event of the Status control will set the AllowEdit Property as soon as the Status control has a value entered. Placing it in the Form_Current event insures that when you move from one record to another, the Property is set appropriately. For example, if you ***only*** place it in the Status_AfterUpdate event, and the value entered is "Ship Requested," the AllowEdits would be set to True. If you then move to another record, where the value of Status is something other than "Ship Requested," AllowEdits will still be set to Yes, because nothing ha been done to check the current value of Status! Having the code in the Form_Update event checks the value of Status as you move to a new record and sets AllowEdits accordingly. -- There's ALWAYS more than one way to skin a cat!

I want more!
I need to extend a form that aleady has some 100 lines. For instance, one column has the date, but only until tomorroq. How do I create more lines based on the same formula? Thank you JB I usually select the last row in the range and copy it down a few rows. If you're using xl2003, you may want to look at Data|List. And if you're using xl2007, this feature has transformed into Tables.

Outlook rule based on value NOT in name?
Hi, I have a lot of SPAM coming in with the sender's address set to my e-mail address. However, the name is different. I would like to setup a rule like this: If the sender's e-mail address = XXXXXXX, but the sender's name <> YYYYYYYY then move to the junk folder. Can this be done? All I see are rules to look for a string - not look for the absence of a string. I use e-mail to transfer notes to myself and also transfer information between mail accounts and computers, so I do send myself e-mail fairly frequently. I'm using Outlook 2003. Thank you for your time! -...
Downloaded Payee Names Editing
In Money 2006 the payee field of a downloaded transaction is "grayed out" and cannot be edited - DIRECTV (1) for example. When I try to use the Payee Rules Manager to change the name to Direct TV, I receive an error stating that "DIRECV (1) is already being used as a payee or payee name variation. Please enter a different name." This seems counter-intuitive to me. Surely, I should be able to enter the preferred name and then list the unwanted variants I wish to have replaced with the preferred name. Are you in Advanced Register??? "Silbury Hill" <no-one@h...

I don't want a page of the same label, I want one of each...
I can't find where to tell Pubisher that I want one of each label and not a page of each label. I'm using Publisher 2003 (Office 2003) I see a post that says to enter "<<Next Record>>" but Publisher doesn't see this as a field, just as text. This can't be that hard, but I can't figure it out...

"Save as" box in MSWord
Hi For some odd reason I cannot save a (new) file in MSWord because the "save as" frame is larger than the screen size on my notebook. Because of this, the space for the "File name" and "Save as Type" panels - and the "Save" or "Cancel" boxes cannot be reached. When trying to push the frame higher on the page so that I can access and enter data into those panels and boxes, it will move only for as long as I "hold" it in place. As soon as I release the moved frame, ready to enter data into the panels and boxes, it slips ...

How can I find the average of travel time on Monday, Tuesday, Wed etc and the average of travel time if start time is between 7:00 to 7:30, etc..? Thanks for the help, cpliu, I have come up with a suggestion. Basically, I took your "average" two ways. One way would be to look at the Total Average for all days over time, and the second would be to look at the individual days themselves. Basically, the start and stop time can be Differenced ou...
How can I assign a range starting cell based on a variable locati.
I'm wondering if there is a way to assign a range starting (or ending) cell location based on a variable number. For instance, say I have cells B1 through B20 and want to take an average, but not of the entire range. Say I only want to average B5:B20 but the "5" is given to me by a separate equation. Is there a way to write =AVERAGE(B???:B20) so that the ??? is referenced to another cell? That way I can cite a range based on a variable starting point.

Editing "Length" of media in WMP11
Does anyone know if it is possible to edit the "length" of a song listed in WMP11?? I have several songs that have incorrect times listed and can't seem to correct them. No, editing the length directly isn't possible, but playing the song (by double-clicking it in the library) should make WMP correct the length itself. If that doesn't help, remove the song from the library (right-click - Delete - Delete from library only), and re-add it (press F3, make sure "Add files previously deleted from library" is checked and click OK).
