A little help please - form headers

[eloy]

I have a database of student names viewed as continuous forms. A series of
yes/no fields are used to check whether student is absent or tardy for each
day of the six week period. I am not a programmer and I cannot figure out
how to have user-input fields (dates) in the header section and be able to
navigate my records without losing the info. A little help, please?
Thanks
Eloy

thanks for your response.

My record consists of student name, id and serveral "pairs" of yes/no
fields. Each pair of yes/no fields represents an absence or a tardy. Each
pair is centered below a user-input variable (the date) in the header
section. It would be ideal if the user would then enter a date (in the
header) and click on either absent or tardy for each record as viewed in
continuous form. I hope i made it a little clearer. thanks again for your
help.

i am with mattc here... dont quite get what you are trying do have done.

So does your student table have a Date Field if Tardy and a Date Field if
Absent? When the user checks a yes no at the top of the form you want it to
place a date in the students record? Do I understand you correct?
