Flagging to turn on/off a button 1

[valgore]

i have a button on a form called button1. what i want to happen is say when button2 is clicked, enable button1. as soon as button1 is click, disable it until button2 is clicked again. the reason for doing this is so that someone doesnt press button1 more than once between button2 clicks.

Hope this makes sense!

I think the Enable may work here.
in the Onclick() try
btn2.Enable=true
btn1.Enable=false

htwh,

ok so that looks pretty straight forward. but i need it to say
If btn1.click=true(or whatver that syntax is) then btn1.Enable=false until btn2.click=true then btn1.enable=true

can you help me with the true syntax for that? im a bit of a novice programmer.

htwh,

Private Sub cmd_Button_1_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_cmd_Button_1_Click
    Me.cmd_Button_2.Enabled = True
    Me.cmd_Button_2.SetFocus
    'SetFocus Required, since can't disable
    'Control that has present Focus!
    Me.cmd_Button_1.Enabled = False
'Or Use Visible Property as opposed to Enabled?
    
Exit_cmd_Button_1_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_cmd_Button_1_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_cmd_Button_1_Click

On Error GoTo Err_cmd_Button_2_Click
    Me.cmd_Button_1.Enabled = True
    Me.cmd_Button_1.SetFocus
    'SetFocus Required, since can't disable
    'Control that has present Focus!
    Me.cmd_Button_2.Enabled = False
'Or Use Visible Property as opposed to Enabled?
    
Exit_cmd_Button_2_Click:
    Exit Sub
