Disable Textbox1 if Textbox2 is populated

[Sphax]

Hello!

I've have been working on a form for about a week.

My problem is that I can't get to work a simple lock on a Textbox if another Textbox is filled and, the other way around.

Does anybody know how to do this, it would make my day.

Don't hesitate if you need any more information.

Thank you for your answer,

It works, but what if the user does a mistake, writes in textbox1 (=>textbox2 locked) but actually wants to write in textbox2.

For the moment that code line will not reset once you write in a textbox and delete the value.

Is there a way to get that working?

use textbox_change event of each textbox.
the quick and dirty approach - you can create textbox_change sub for each textbox (as you have only two_ not much of a work)
more general approach would be to create custom class. However this is worth the efforts if you have more controls that you want to handle the same way.

EDIT: sorry, TMS :-) I've got a phone call before I submit my answer

If you still need help on this you just need to expand TMS's code slightly to enable textbox2 if the value of textbox1 is not ""
