fill color also creates unwanted border

[JennyAnnRowe-ou]

Hi,

I am using a conditional statement that adds fill color to a check box and a subform field when the check box is checked. The color fills in properly (and upon de-selection, it disappears) as it is supposed to, but on some fields, there is also appearing an unwanted border around the check box. Not only does the border appear, but it fails to disappear upon de-selection.

So, my response is, Say What?! Hoping someone can let me know what is going on and how to get rid of the border.

Here's the exact code I have applied to one of the check boxes and which is creating a border as well.

if (TakeTAKSAcc.rawValue==1){TAKSAccSubjects.presence="visible",this.fil lColor="238,238,238";}else{TAKSAccSubjects.presence="hidden",this.fill Color="255,255,255";}

Hi Jenny

If you want to get rid of the border, you can just set it's thickness to 0.  Another option is that you could set the edge colour to white:

if (TakeTAKSAcc.rawValue==1){TAKSAccSubjects.presence="visible";TAKSAccSubjects.fillColor="238,238,238";
TAKSAccSubjects.border.edge.thickness = "0.0pt";
}
else{TAKSAccSubjects.presence="hidden";
TAKSAccSubjects.fillColor="255,255,255";
TAKSAccSubjects.border.edge.thickness = "0.0pt";
}

Thanks,

Tim

Oh yeah---why didn't I think of that?!

I am still curious as to why the border suddenly appears in the first place, however.

Thanks for your response!!

Yes, I think when the fillColor property is set, then it may make the default fill edge visible (which has a default colour and width)

It sounds like you were also experiencing different behaviour with different objects - you could possibly create Custom Objects with particular fill/edge settings so that the fields act consistently

That makes sense. 

Yes. I have some funky things going on. I recently posted a question about how my table header repeats on the 2nd page, but not thereafter, but didn't get much response to that one.

Thanks again for your help and insight!
