Outlook 2000 Form & VB/VBScript - 6/30/2001 11:09:18 AM

I have a form that needs a little VBScript tweeking, I think.

I have an Option button with a properties label of "OtherOption". Next
to it on the form I have created a text box with the properties label of
"OtherInfo".

There are several other Option buttons on the form.

What I want to be able to do is to have the "OtherInfo" text box be
enabled only when the "OtherOption" option button has been clicked,
otherwise the text box should be disabled if any other Option button is
selected.

If someone can guide me to a reference place where I can learn how
to do this trick, or can help out, I'd be greatly appreciative.

I have set the default of the OtherInfo (the text box)to disable and I
tried using coding like this:

Private Sub OptionOther_onClick()
OtherInfo.Enabled = -1 ****where -1 = True
End Sub

when running the form, the text box does not enable when I click on
the OptionOther radio (option) button.

Thanks.

If you're not opposed to using a little javascript, instead of vbscript,
here's something that does more or less the same thing --

The names and what is clicked is different, but the idea is the same:

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script language=javascript>

function checkIt(){
if (document.thisForm.c1.checked == true ||
document.thisForm.c2.checked == true)
document.thisForm.c3.disabled = false;
else
document.thisForm.c3.disabled = true;
}

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="document.thisForm.c3.disabled = true;">
<form name=thisForm action="somepage.asp" method=post>
<input type=checkbox name=c1 onClick="checkIt();">
<input type=checkbox name=c2 onClick="checkIt();">
<input type=textbox name=c3>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
<input type=reset name=reset value=reset
onClick="document.thisForm.c3.disabled = true;">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Where the text box is disabled as soon as the page loads, and does
not become enabled until one of the checkboxes has been turned on --

hitting 'reset' will disable the box again --

If this isn't clear, post back, with your code, and we'll work it out.

good luck!

The reading that I have done with regards to writing a script for
Microsoft Outlook only mentions being able to use Visual Basic, VB
Script, Visual Interdev and some other seemingly MS based software.

If you know that javascript is a supported scripting language within
Outlook, then I could try the script that you wrote.

Thanks for the reply as I'm sure that I can still put it to good use if not
on this mission.

Just a little modification got it working in vbscript:

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script language=vbscript>

function checkIt()
if ((document.thisForm.c1.checked = true) or
(document.thisForm.c2.checked = true)) then
document.thisForm.c3.disabled = false
else
document.thisForm.c3.disabled = true
end if
end function

function resetIt()
document.thisForm.c3.disabled = true
end function

</script>
</head>
<body onLoad="resetIt()">
<form name=thisForm action="somepage.asp"
method=post>
<input type=checkbox name=c1
onClick="checkIt()">
<input type=checkbox name=c2
onClick="checkIt()">
<input type=textbox name=c3>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
<input type=reset name=reset value=reset
onClick="resetIt()">
</form>
</body>
</html>
