Making Textboxes visible/invisible

[hmckenn]

I have a database that is used to calculate tax filing dates. I have the dates appear in textboxes that are "unbound" but use a calculation based on info entered by the user. What I need to happen is for the dates to remain hidden until the boxes are checked for the appropirate tax form that is needed. I can get the boxes to disappear but i can not get them to reappear if a change is made. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried if...elseif modules and have them activated on almost every possible event known to me.
Please help this is due very soon.

thanks in advance

have you tried

text1.visible = TRUE to show &
text1.Visible = FALSE to hide the text box?

my original code was


If ysnDue706=true then
strDueDate.visible=true

and so forth. the problem is, the dates that strDueDate is running off of are not connected to ysnDue706, the dates are coming from early in the form. The dates are calculated as soon as dtmDateOfDeath is entered and I dont want it to show up until ysn706 is checked off. I have tried setting default to visible=no and then linked the visible through a command button; running a macro that will call the function; altering which event this is linked to ... and just cant get anything to work.
