Multiple Selection Option - Using Forms

Okay GURU's. I am looking for the easiest way to have the operator select multiple items at the beginning of the program in order to inspect certain features. We have a part with 18 different features and instead of running the entire program for 1 feature that was adjusted I would like to prompt the question "Which blocks would you like to check....1, 2, 3, 4..etc " and so on.

I don't have much expierence in this area and I know that you can use VB but with my skills I am not getting it. Any help would be apprieciated.

  • Hi,
    I saw one of your posts where you were explaining to another member about
    how you might do a form. (6-10-14)

    I do mine slightly different, but have you ever had an issue with the forms not
    loading properly? I mean they will not load at all. I have ran this program at least
    75 times and sometimes the forms will load properly and sometimes they will not.
    They either all load or none of them load.
    When they do not I go in and make a change to the form, save it, and then take the
    change out, resave it...., now the forms will load properly, all of them, even though I only
    "edited" one of them.

    I have a probe file photo come up at the beginning of the program, then a "TOPMENU"
    that comes up and displays choices to the operator with radio buttons, and then I build from
    there with other choices ..etc.

    Have you experienced this at all, and if not, can you help me with my code and see if
    I am doing something that 2011 MR1 does not like (some of the time).lol

    Thanks for your time. I can post code if you are willing to give it a look.


    One possible reason might be if the form is already open when you run the program. If it is already open I don't think it will automatically move to the top (it will stay in the background). When this happens see what is under the 'Window' menu.
