1 click ticks 4 rows

[Marcster]

Hi People,

On a form I have datasheet, on this datasheet there is also a column of checkbox's (data type Yes/No).
There are 4 rows for each 'record', when I click any of the checkbox's it should place a tick in all rows in the 'record' in this column of checkbox's (data type Yes/No).
Also, if I uncheck the box, all rows uncheck.
Column P has the unique identifier that shows what rows belong to what record.They are grouped together, i.e. ordered list.
So each tick I place in a check box, 4 rows should be ticked, based on the value in Column P.
It will always be 4 rows, as the unique value in column P is repeated for each 4 rows.

Thanks,

Use a update query.

currentdb.execute "update YourTable set SomeField = " & CheckBoxValue & " where ColumnP = " & ColumnP
me.requery

Thanks jonh.
But not quite what I was after.

If I open Table1 and click any Tickbox in first column then any same ColumnP rows should also be ticked. All 4 rows.

i.e. if I click on the first checkbox, row 1, I want the first 4 checkboxes to be ticked. Row 1,2,3 and 4. As they all have the same ColumnP value.

Field1	ColumnP
<Checkbox>	AAAA
<Checkbox>	AAAA
<Checkbox>	AAAA
<Checkbox>	AAAA
<Checkbox>	BBBB
<Checkbox>	BBBB
<Checkbox>	BBBB
<Checkbox>	BBBB
<Checkbox>	CCCC
<Checkbox>	CCCC
<Checkbox>	CCCC
<Checkbox>	CCCC

If I tick the last row, then the bottom 4 rows should also tick.
These 'ticking'/'un-ticking' can happen on any row in Table1.


Thanks,

... and an update query doesn't solve the problem because ...

Maybe because your checkbox is unbound? But then all checkboxes show the same value so that wont work.

I don't know.

Getting the error:
Run-time error '3601':
Too few parameters. Expected 1.

In code:

Dim CheckBoxValue As Boolean
Dim ColumnPValue As String
CheckBoxValue = Forms!Form1!Field1
ColumnPValue = Forms!Form1!ColumnP
CurrentDb.Execute "update Table1 set Field1 = " & CheckBoxValue & " where ColumnP = " & ColumnPValue
Me.Requery

Any idea's?....

That means a field doesn't exist.

Text fields need quotes around the values.

for example

ColumnPValue = "foobar"
"ColumnP = " & ColumnPValue

translates to "ColumnP = foobar"

since foobar doesn't have quotes and isn't numeric it's seen as a field that doesn't exist.

so if columnp is text it should be

"ColumnP = '" & ColumnPValue & "'"

Cheers jonh, that's it.

CurrentDb.Execute "update Table1 set Field1 = " & CheckBoxValue & " where ColumnP = '" & ColumnPValue & "'"
