Paul,
That's because the checkbox control is not "bound" to any table field,
so it's value will be reflected in all your continuous form records
If necessary, add a field to your form's underlying table, (ex.
FillInName), add that field to the query behind the form, and set the
ControlSource of your checkbox to FillInName.

I have a form which includes a column where the user selects a tick
box and this automatically fills in there name and date on another
part of the form. The problem is if I tick say row 1 the name and date
appears as it should in row one but also ticks appear in the tick box
column for various other (random i think ) rows although the name and
date information does not, can anyone explain why when i tick one box
others in the column fill themselves in.
Being self taught my knowledge is limited

Thanks in advance
