Create new record by clicking a check box

In Access, I can create a new record is a check box is selected. For
example, if I want to create a follow up appointment notice, I can select the
number of days in the furture for the appointment, then check create
appointment. Then using code I can get Access to create the appointment.
Can this be done in InfoPath?

Thanks

Almost anything for which you can write code can be done in InfoPath. It is
much more difficult to get things done in InfoPath without writing code. So
yes, it can be done, but will require you to write code.

But if you can do it in Access, and you know how to do it in Access, why do
you want to use InfoPath?

I am converting an Access form to InfoPath and I want to include all the
features.

I understand what you're trying to do. The question that I tried to raise was
more: Why are you doing that? InfoPath forms and Access forms are two
entirely different things. Access is an application platform, while InfoPath
is a tool to build electronic forms. InfoPath should not be used to build
applications, because that's not its intended purpose. The choice is always
yours, of course...
