I have a recordset that displays 10 records per page. At the bottom of the 

page is a Submit button. Depending on the data that is retrieved I 

sometimes show checkboxes. When there are no checkboxes to be displayed I 

need to "hide" the submit button. For example, the first page may have 5 

line items with a checkboxe and the last 5 with no checkboxes, therefor I 

show the submit button. When the user clicks on the Next button to display 

the next ten records there are no checkboxes so I need to hide the submit 

button. I'm racking my brain to figure this one out, but have been 

unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Presumable you are doing some kind of processing to put the check boxes in.

why not have a flag that you set to true if any check boxes are written, and

only write the submit button if the flag is true?

You could try using javascript to loop through all controls in the page of

type checkbox. If none is found then you can use a custom stylesheet to hide

the submit button eg.

document.all.item("nameOfSubmitButton").style.visibility="hidden".
