if then statement on checkbox to print text on report?

[kc112]

Hello,

I have had much help with this forum..so here we go again!

I have a yes/no field titled "Froment's Paper Sign." If the patient is negtive for the test, then do not print and do not check box. If patient is positive for the test, I want the user to 'check' the check box and on the report, I want it to output, "The patient showed positive for Froment's Paper Sign."

I am sure this is a simple code, but I have no training on access, code, or VBA language. I am thinking something like...

Private Sub Froments_Paper_Sign_Click()
if "o", do not print
else true = "The patient..."
End Sub

But I know I am missing a lot!

Can anyone help me out with the code here?

Thanks!!
Kristyn


form: handexam
field: Froments paper sign
report: treatmentplandata

I think I got it...

The form dislays a checkbox.

On my report, I placed a text box with a control source stating:

=IIf([froments_paper_sign]=True,"The patient showed positive for the Froment's Paper Sign indicating a possible ulnar nerve paralysis.","")

works great!
