Good Morning,

this is my code

Code:

'lock selection box
Private Sub Status_AfterUpdate()
If Me.Status.Value = Me.txtStatusDone.Value Or Me.Status.Value = Me.txtStatusRefused.Value Then
Me.cmbActionedBy.Locked = True
Else
Me.cmbActionedBy.Locked = False
End If

my aim is to lock the said cmbActionedBy so when a record is either done or refused it cant be altered

i have tried it in form load and also in the afterupdate part of the status as above but so far to no avail

any ideas what I am obviously doing wrong :banghead:

cheers all

attach is a screen shot of the table and form in question

have your tried

Me.cmbActionedBy.Locked = Me.Status= Me.txtStatusDone Or Me.Status= Me.txtStatusRefused

in the form current event?

Note you do not need the .value
