BTW, cb400Hurdles appears to be a Checkbox. To retrieve its value, you need
to use something like:

Dim Hurdles400Flag as Boolean = Me.cb400Hurdles.Checked

This assigns the Boolean value (True = checked, False = unchecked) of
cb400Hurdles.Checked to a Boolean variable named Hurdles400Flag.
cb400Hurdles.value will be invalid.

Thanks,
