Making Check Boxes
Thank you so much for your help. I will look over the tutorials and hopefully
they will get me far enough where I can complete this database. Thank you so much again- and hopefully, I won't bother you with any more questions. Thanks again. "John W.

I am somewhat new to creating new forms and tables with Access, so forgive me if I seem naive on the Access lingo. Thanks so much for your time! Again: *Start with the Tables*. Don't even OPEN the forms window until you have tables with all of the fields needed to store the information that you want to record. This would include a Yes/No field in the appropriate table (which I can't really identify based on what you've posted). Once you have your tables set up, with all the needed fields and relationships, *then* create your Form. You might want to look at some of the tutorials and sample databases available: Jeff Conrad's resources page: http://www.accessmvp.com/JConrad/acc...resources.html The Access Web resources page: http://www.mvps.org/access/resources/index.html A free tutorial written by Crystal (MS Access MVP): http://allenbrowne.com/casu-22.html MVP Allen Browne's tutorials: http://allenbrowne.com/links.html#Tutorials -- John W.

On the Property Sheet click on the Data tab and it is the first item listed.

Click on the checkbox and then click in the Control Source property to select your field. -- KARL DEWEY Build a little - Test a little "Jami B." wrote: How do I go about binding the field to the record?

I had to add check boxes through the design view, but when I click on the check boxes for each contact, it clicks it for ALL of the students. How do I make the check boxes check for each individual contact without it checking all of them? Thanks. |

We're all volunteers here and we wouldn't be here if we didn't want to help folks! So don't hesitate to post back if you're confused about a tutorial or about your table/form structures. -- John W.
