May 29, 200322 yr Dear all, My database which I am developing for my school is growing and growing. Teachers are now seeing its potential and are asking if it can do more and more. My question is that I need to know if it possible to activate a layout only if a certain criteria is met within another layout. eg. If a child receives support from an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher a checkbox would be selected by their teacher and information about their progress can be noted. I need to know if when that checkbox is selected can I generate another report which does not come up if the checkbox is unselected. (I am totally confused ~ lol) I hope I am clear about my question Many Thanx in advance Poida
May 29, 200322 yr It kind of depends on what you mean by "activate a layout". You can put a clear button over a checkbox and use it to trigger a script (and check the checkbox as part of the script). If by "generate another report" you mean 1) immediately print a report or 2) set a report to print when another report is printed, the answer to both is yes. These would all be done with scripts. A more exact solution will require a little more detailed description in unambiguous terms (leave out the "activates" and "generates" ). -bd
