Access Tip of the Day
Programmatically toggle a control's Enabled property (Access 97/2000/2002)
You can enable or disable most controls by modifying the control's Enabled property. You can take advantage of that property's Boolean value settings by using a statement in the form
control.Enabled = Abs(control.Enabled) - 1
where control is the name of the object you're modifying. This statement simply switches the property between the two Boolean values, -1 and 0; -1 is enabled, and 0 is disabled.
You can also use the Not operator to switch a control's Enabled property. This technique uses True and False values instead of the Boolean values -1 and 0. The setup is basically the same, but the code is a little different. The Not technique uses a statement in the form
control.Enabled = Not control.Enabled
If the Enabled property is True, this statement changes it to False and vice versa.
