checkboxes if else - newbie

Hi,

So you have FOUR checkboxes. That means that you have a possible 8 states: 0 thru 7...

000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

Yes?

So would you not have a CASE for each?

Skip,

for a NUANCE!}

yes, but my problem is not the logic behind it, it's the way how to program it
i wanted to make it simple, that's why i said 4 checkboxes, but i have around 30 checkboxes.
creating the check-box-list is also not the problem, but i can't find anywhere the function to read the field-value of the checkbox, cause something like
if checkbox1.value = 1 etc...
end if
does not work. that's my first and very elementary problem;

the second one is that i want to make a loop (case), that goes through the values of the buttons and when there is a 1 it captures a value at the screen (capturing itself is not the problem) and adds the value to a write command for writing it after the loop to a file;

my aim is to input data from a .csv-file (account numbers) to let with a checkbox-list people (me) chose what kind of values they want from these account-numbers, and then write the captures values to a csv-file again.

thanks a lot!
