don't look if you don't want to help a beginner! :)

I will give a big kudos if anyone can remotely help me with this, much less understand what I need help on...here goes: whew, okay...i've got some option buttons, I need the user to satisfy both frames with option buttons. I know how to make a message box to ask the user to go back and click on the option button, but how do you take it step by step? Like, how do you make it so that if the user clicks on one frame, but doesn't fulfill the second one, the message box will come up. Right now, the message boxes all come right after one another when clicking the command button.

Wow! :eek: Could anybody understand that and help me?!

I didnt understand a word you just said. Lay it out more plainly and tell us what you're actually trying to do, and what its for and then i might be able to help

Do ALL optButons, on each frame, need to selected by the user?

lol bruce i like your quote at the bottom of your thing..rofl

:D

Alternatly,

You could 'hide' the second Frame until the user has satisfied
your rquirments on the first.

VB Code:

Frame2.Visible = False

Do you even understand what he is trying to do? I sure dont...

Yes mate,

If I understand correctly, you should be able to just use the GotFocus event.
ie:

Frame1 with 2 option buttons Opt1 and Opt2
Frame2 with 2 option buttons Opt3 and Opt4

VB Code:

Sub Opt3_GotFocus()
  If Opt1.Value=False and Opt2.Value=False then
       MsgBox "Please select from Frame1 options"
  end if
 
End Sub

He's one funny guy.

I think Pickler is the closest...but it still doesn't work for some reason. I'm sorry about my explanation!

Okay, take 2--> i have a form that has 2 frames --frame1 with options Undergrad/Grad. frame2 holds Resident/Nonresident. Can you guys tell i'm trying to do a tuition calculation thingie? ANyway, then there's a textbox asking the user to put in how many credits they're taking. Then a command button that calculates the tuition. Wow, I guess that explanation was probably a lot better eh?
:)

So...I need the user to fill out all frames before pushing "Compute Tuition"

Is that better?:p

:rolleyes: ..........:confused: ....I think what picler has suggested is what u want....

Similar to what Pickler said,

Place the check in the Command Button

VB Code:

Private Sub Command_Click()
 
  If Opt1.Value=False And Opt2.Value=False And Opt2.Value=False And Opt3.Value=False Then
       MsgBox "Please select an option"
  End if
 
End Sub

okay, so this is the problem I'm encountering upon doing those statements. if i haven't filled out any of the frames it gives me a message stating i need to choose my class standing. that's great, but opon pressing the ok button, it goes to say i need to select my residency status, then goes to the next please provide a numeric value.

how do i separate them where each individual error message will display one at a time? when the error is actually made?:p

Post ur code :)

Hi Licoricekisses,

Can you post what code you have.:)

Please don't laugh at me!! :( (and the hmm part i'm still figuring out. trying to limit the user with just number values. )




If optUndergrad.Value = False And optGrad.Value = False Then
MsgBox "Please select your class standing", vbInformation, "pa4"
End If

If optResident.Value = False And optNonresident.Value = False Then
MsgBox "Please select your resident status", vbInformation, "pa4"
End If

If txtNumberCredits.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please provide your number of credits", vbInformation, "pa4"
If IsNumeric(hmmm) Then
MsgBox "Please provide a numeric value", vbInformation, "pa4"
End If
End If

Cool, no probs.
There is more than one way to fix this.
One way.

VB Code:

If optUndergrad.Value = False And optGrad.Value = False Then 
  MsgBox "Please select your class standing", vbInformation, "pa4" 
elseIf optResident.Value = False And optNonresident.Value = False Then 
  MsgBox "Please select your resident status", vbInformation, "pa4" 
elseIf txtNumberCredits.Text = "" Then 
  MsgBox "Please provide your number of credits", vbInformation, "pa4" 
elseIf IsNumeric(hmmm) Then 
  MsgBox "Please provide a numeric value", vbInformation, "pa4" 
End If

PS hmmm=txtNumberCredits.Text

Hope it helps:)

:D wow pickler! thanks a lot! i can't believe i forgot that elseif statement! i totally brain-farted!

i'm trying to call a function...why won't it let me do it? here, i'll show you...and don't laugh at my redundancy with the function! :) (how would you alleviate that anyway?)

Private Sub cmdComputeTuition_Click()

Dim Standing As String
Dim Residency As String
Dim NumberCredits As Integer
Dim TotalTuition As Currency

If optUndergrad.Value = False And optGrad.Value = False Then
MsgBox "Please select your class standing", vbInformation, "pa4"
ElseIf optResident.Value = False And optNonresident.Value = False Then
MsgBox "Please select your resident status", vbInformation, "pa4"
ElseIf txtNumberCredits.Text = "" Then
MsgBox "Please provide your number of credits", vbInformation, "pa4"
txtNumberCredits.SetFocus
Exit Sub
ElseIf Not IsNumeric(txtNumberCredits) Then
MsgBox "Please provide a numeric value", vbInformation, "pa4"
txtNumberCredits.SetFocus
txtNumberCredits.SelStart = 0
txtNumberCredits.SelLength = Len(txtNumberCredits.Text)
Exit Sub
Else
NumberCredits = Val(txtNumberCredits.Text)
End If



TotalTuition = Cost(Standing, Residency, NumberCredits)
lblDisplayTuition.Caption = Format(TotalTuition, "Currency")

End Sub

Private Function Cost(Standing As String, _
Residency As String, NumberCredits As Integer) As Currency

If (Standing = "Undergrad") And (Residency = "Resident") Then
Cost = 35 * NumberCredits
ElseIf (Standing = "Undergrad") And (Residency = "Nonresident") Then
Cost = 65 * NumberCredits
ElseIf (Standing = "Grad") And (Residency = "Resident") Then
Cost = 70 * NumberCredits
ElseIf (Standing = "Grad") And (Residency = "Nonresident") Then
Cost = 135 * NumberCredits
End If

End Function

WHAT AM I MISSING? hmmm...:confused:

I can see where you set the NumberCredits.
But I can't see where you set your Standing and Residency variables before calling your Cost function.

From what I can see they should be declared at Form level.
( not in your button click event )
and set when lciking your option buttons.

Cheers
:)
