Properly operating check boxes

G

Gabe

I have tried on a number of databases to use checkboxes or similar, using a
number of different options. Every time I place checkboxes on my form, and
select an option, it selects the same option for each of the records, which I
suppose it is not supposed to do - even when there is no default option.

Can someone please let me know of a way that *won't* use the same option for
each record? It's really driving me nuts, because it will most probably be
something very simple!

Thanks

Gabe,

What is the purpose of the checkboxes? If they are bound to a field in
the form's underlying table/query, then the value of the checkbox is
recorded for each record, and the form will reflect this. If you are
placing an unbound checkbox on the form, then of course the value of the
checkbox is the value of the checkbox, regardless of which record, so
the form will show the same value for each record, unless you change the
value. So, maybe you could give an example of what you want to happen,
and someone may be able to advise more specifically.
