Is it possible to Create a Check Box on a table and relate it to other data
types in the same table? I am trying to set up a table that list Zones,
Blocks, Gallons Per Minute of Water, Check Box and Total Columns. I want to
to be able to put aa check box in a column beside the GPM column so that if I
put a check in the check box it will transfer the GPM total over to the Total
Column. Is this possible?
 
Yes it possible but you shouldn't do it. This would mean you have the same
data stored in the same record twice.

You should create a query and then base a form on this use IIf checkbox = -1
then (after this add the calculation that you need)

The method you are mentioning sounds like an excel calculation and this is
not the best way to use access.

If you have problems post a question and someone will be able help
 
Thanks for your help. I have set up the query but I am still unclear on what
you mean by If checkbox = -1 then I'm not sure how to put that in the
query. I am very new to access and I really need you to furture explain.
 
Access stores the value True (or checked in a checkbox scenario) as -1, and
False as 0.
