events do not fire

[dreamdelerium]

hi everyone. im looking for some help. when i programatically set a value for a control (ie, check a check box) why doesnt the associated event fire?



for example, if i programatically set checkboxA to checked, the checkbox will become checked but the onclick event doesnt fire. how do i get it to do this.



im creating a set of forms in access 2003

How are you setting to be checked?

[dreamdelerium]

im pulling data from a table (which i use to store the state of each control) then, put all the data into an array (theres about 50-200 controls on each form) then use somethings like this to set the controls value:

Function FillForm1(ByRef getarray As Variant)

On Error GoTo errorhandler

Dim i As Integer

For i = 0 To 185
'Debug.Print "question number: " & Forms("frmSection1").Controls("Q" & Format(i, "000")).Name & " answere: " & getarray((i + 1), 0)
Forms("frmSection1").Controls("Q" & Format(i, "000")).Value = getarray((i + 1), 0)
Next i

errorhandler:

If Err.Number = 0 Then
Else
MsgBox Err.Description
End If
End Function

this does set the value for each control but it does not cause the associated event to fire. so, it may check the check box, but if that checkbox event was suppose to enable/disable another control based on the value, it does not happen

Just call the sub...

eg

chkClickMe=true
chkClickMe_Click

50-200 controls!!
I think you might want to consider a different way

What are the names of the checkboxes... give a few examples....

[westconn1]

Forms("frmSection1").Controls("Q" & Format(i, "000")).Value = getarray((i + 1), 0)

what is the value of getarray at this point?
the checkbox click event will only fire if the value is changed
