i need a code to disable a text field in my form on selecting an item from a combo box...

Use the combobox click event and in there just set your textbox's .enable property to False.

[Sgiri1]

Private Sub Combo1_click()
If Combo1.Text = "new" Then
Text1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "new"
Combo1.AddItem "old1"
Combo1.AddItem "old2"
Combo1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub


is this what u said? if so this doesn't seem to be working...the text box still stays enabled...

[Sgiri1]

Private Sub Combo1_click()
If Combo1.Text = "new" Then
Text1.Enabled = False
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
Combo1.AddItem "new"
Combo1.AddItem "old1"
Combo1.AddItem "old2"
Combo1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub

if give this code..then on the click of all the three items the text field is disabled...but i jus want it to be disabled when i click new..

Works perfect for me. You werent using the Click event like I mentioned.

Option Explicit

Private Sub Combo1_Click()
    If Combo1.Text = "new" Then
        Text1.Enabled = False
    Else
        Text1.Enabled = True
    End If
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Combo1.AddItem "new"
    Combo1.AddItem "old1"
    Combo1.AddItem "old2"
    Combo1.ListIndex = 0
End Sub
