In the form's Current event, set the Enabled property for all of the
relevant controls to False.

Thank you it works. But how do I have the questions below the Yes/No
question to be Disabled/Inactive until I pick Yes.
Example: First question - Do you have any any siblings?
Second question - How many
I want the "How Many" question to be Disabled/Inactive until Yes is
picked.
Here is my actual code so far:
Sub txtIs_AfterUpdate()
Me.txtApplication.Enabled = Me.txtIs
End Sub
What do I need in addition to the code to make this work.
