This is sort of a brain-teaser (if that is allowed here). I already have a work-around but thought it interesting to share it with the board to see if perhaps better solution might exist.
I have created a fancy-schmancy form for a payroll program which can be used to enter time sheet data into the current pay period or read time sheet data from all periods. I created all the necessary handling of the switching between the size of the filter and allowing/disallowing edits on the form. Then I created a checkbox to that purpose. Alas, the switch could be only flipped once. Then it would not respond. As I was particularly thick that night, I could not figure out why. When the fog lifted I realized that the button was a form control and so itself was subject to the "Allow Edits" setting, so when the property was turned off, the check box (or radio button) would not flip. Great !
So all that work for nothing ! Luckily, I found a solution which allowed to keep all the references to "CheckEdits" switch intact with only a minor cosmetic change. How would you fix it ?
Best,
Jiri
