Thread: Show/Hide text box based on content of Lookup box

Show/Hide text box based on content of Lookup box Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 24 Jul 06 10:48 AM

Hi,

I have edited the 'Insert Opportunity' form and added 2 new fields : one is a LookupEdit and one is a text box. Basically, I have a 'source' field (the lookup) and then a free text box allowing the user to say exactly what the source of the lead was.

I want the text box to be hidden by default and only appear when someone populates the lookup box.

The code I tried is this :

Sub lveSourceClick(Sender)
If lveSource.Lookup = "" Then Exit Sub

If lveSource.Lookup <> "" then
txtSourceEvent.Visible = True
lblSourceEvent.Visible = True
Else
txtSourceEvent.Visible = False
lblSourceEvent.Visible = False
End If

End Sub

I cannot get this to work.

Can anyone help?

Are you sure you have the script wired to an event?

Try putting a MsgBox statement in the script to see if it is firing when you expect. BTW, I usually do these type of things on the WhenExit event.

Try using lveSource.Lookupid or lveSource.Text to see if there is something populated.

Try this on the Change Event

Sub lveSourceChange(Sender)

   If lveSource.Text <> "" then
      txtSourceEvent.Visible = True
      lblSourceEvent.Visible = True
   Else
      txtSourceEvent.Visible = False
      lblSourceEvent.Visible = False
   End If

Many thanks guys. I've managed to get it working. However, I have stumbled on to my next newbie challenge. I've posted it in a new thread if anyone is interested in having a look.
