hi, (i am a newbie at VB.....)

when i load a form, i assign a value to my textbox (named txtNRep).

what i want is when the user changes my value, a checked checkbox appears

i tried

Private Sub txtNRep_Change()
cbChgRep.Visible = True
cbChgRep.Value = 1
End Sub

but, this causes the checkbox to always appear, because i am changing the value in my form_load

is there an easy way to catch the change only after the form loads?

thanks so much in advance,
meg
