Hi Folks,

I got lots and lots of fields need to be set to visible or invisible based on field content. Manually coding all of this is possible it just takes forever. This is what I am wondering (if this is possible or exists or not):

If I had say 10 fields all all those 10 fields were to be set to invisible or visible depending on a single check mark box, could I say 'draw' something maybe a special 'frame' around those 10 fields so that I can refer to the 'frame' and everything in that area could be invisible or visible based upon the check mark box versus having to code all 10 fields individually?

Just wondering if that is even possible?

Thanks a lot,

Joe
 
A box control that covers other controls would work but only if the form background is plain so the box will not stand out when it is visible.

Another solution is to add a tab control and hide the tabs. Your code can cycle between tabs which will have the effect of showing/hiding groups of controls. Give the tab pages meaningful names.
