New line on IF Statement (1 Viewer)

[Oreynolds]

Hi, I am trying to split this long IF statment up across two lines so its not on one huge long line but it won't let me, what am I doing wrong?!

Thanks

If Me.Chk2Discipline = True And Me.Chk3Discipline = True And Me.Chk4Discipline = True And Me.Chk5Discipline = True And Me.Chk6Discipline = True And Me.Chk7Discipline = True & _
   And Me.Chk8Discipline = True And Me.Chk9Discipline = True And Me.Chk10Discipline = True And Me.Chk11Discipline = True And Me.Chk12Discipline = True And Me.Chk13Discipline = True Then
   Me.Chk1Discipline = True
   Me.txtCriteria1Discipline = 1
   End If

Don't think you need the & symbol.

As already mentioned in #2 without &, as no string is to be linked

If Me.Chk2Discipline = True And Me.Chk3Discipline = True And Me.Chk4Discipline = True _
            And Me.Chk5Discipline = True And Me.Chk6Discipline = True And Me.Chk7Discipline = True _
            And Me.Chk8Discipline = True And Me.Chk9Discipline = True And Me.Chk10Discipline = True _
            And Me.Chk11Discipline = True And Me.Chk12Discipline = True And Me.Chk13Discipline = True Then
      Me.Chk1Discipline = True
      Me.txtCriteria1Discipline = 1
   End If

Or:

   Dim ChkDis1 As Boolean
   Dim i As Long
 
   For i = 2 To 13
      ChkDis1 = Me.Controls("Chk" & i & "Discipline")
      If Not ChkDis1 Then
         Exit For
      End If
   Next
 
   Me.Chk1Discipline = ChkDis1
   If ChkDis1 Then
      Me.txtCriteria1Discipline = 1
   End If

Multiple similar name fields/controls for same kind of data indicates a non-normalized structure. If you want to provide db for analysis, follow instructions at bottom of my post.

You also don't have to compare a boolean to True or False in order to determine if it is True or False, since, as a boolean, it is already True or False. As a result you can do....

Me.Chk1Discipline = Me.Chk2Discipline And Me.Chk3Discipline And Me.Chk4Discipline ...

Also, appears you are saving this calculated value to field. That is not necessary as this can be calculated when needed. It is often bad idea to save calculated value.

Why is Chk1Discipline dependent on other 12 Discipline fields? And why do you then populate another field to a number value?

With Me
If .Chk2Discipline And .Chk3Discipline And.Chk4Discipline And .Chk5Discipline And .Chk6Discipline _
            And .Chk7Discipline And .Chk8Discipline And .Chk9Discipline And .Chk10Discipline _
            And .Chk11Discipline And .Chk12Discipline And .Chk13Discipline Then
      .Chk1Discipline = True
      .txtCriteria1Discipline = 1
End If
End With

perhaps even simpler

With Me

    .Chk1Discipline= .Chk2Discipline And .Chk3Discipline And.Chk4Discipline And .Chk5Discipline And .Chk6Discipline _
            And .Chk7Discipline And .Chk8Discipline And .Chk9Discipline And .Chk10Discipline _
            And .Chk11Discipline And .Chk12Discipline And .Chk13Discipline
    
     if  .Chk1Discipline then  .txtCriteria1Discipline = 1

End With

 

[June7]

Maybe no If Then at all:

With Me
    .Chk1Discipline = .Chk2Discipline And .Chk3Discipline And.Chk4Discipline And .Chk5Discipline And .Chk6Discipline _
            And .Chk7Discipline And .Chk8Discipline And .Chk9Discipline And .Chk10Discipline _
            And .Chk11Discipline And .Chk12Discipline And .Chk13Discipline
    .txtCriteria1Discipline = Abs(.Chk1Discipline)
End With

These fields are redundant.

Maybe no If Then at all:

maybe - depends if the OP needs a 1 or null, or 1 or 0, or something else

another alternative

If (Me.Chk2Discipline + Me.Chk3Discipline + Me.Chk4Discipline + Me.Chk5Discipline + Me.Chk6Discipline + Me.Chk7Discipline + _
   Me.Chk8Discipline + Me.Chk9Discipline + Me.Chk10Discipline + Me.Chk11Discipline + Me.Chk12Discipline + Me.Chk13Discipline) = -12 Then
  
   Me.Chk1Discipline = True
   Me.txtCriteria1Discipline = 1
