Returning the caption more than one active control within a frame

[trishgyrl]

Hello...

Can someone please help. I have a frame within a user form that contains 6 checkboxes. The user may select more than one checkbox.

I am trying to send the caption of the selected checkbox(es) to the body of an email. I wrote the code below but it returned the same one twice (see the bolded portion).

Does anyone know I can achieve this? Thanks in advance.

"<br><br>" & _    "<b>" & Me.lblNewExist & ": " & "</b>" & Me.frameNewExist.ActiveControl.Caption & _
    "<br><br>" & _
[B]    "<b>" & Me.frameDealType.Caption & ": " & "</b>" & Me.frameDealType.ActiveControl.Caption & _[/B]
[B]    "<br><br>"[/B]
[B]    strBody = strBody & "<b>" & Me.frameDealType.Caption & ": " & "</b>" & Me.frameDealType.ActiveControl.Caption & _[/B]
[B]    "<br><br>" & _[/B]
    "<b>" & Me.frameDeal.Caption & ": " & "</b>" & Me.frameDeal.ActiveControl.Text & " - " & Me.frameRecDel.ActiveControl.Caption & _
    "<br><br>" & _

Hi,

try looping through all your checkboxes to build your string variable


untested but something like following may do what you want

    Dim Ctrl As Control
    For Each Ctrl In Me.frameNewExist.Controls
        With Ctrl
            If TypeName(Ctrl) = "CheckBox" Then
'box checked
                If .Value Then strBody = IIf(Len(strBody) = 0, .Caption, strBody & ": " & .Caption)
            End If
        End With
    Next Ctrl

adjust code as required.
