Is there a way to have a field keep track of how may boxes you select? THis
would need to be without selecting them all and without having each form have
the same boxes checked.
 
To continue my question from you previous post.
Are we talking about a continous form, with a check box field

If so, you can create a text field in the form footer that has
=Sum(IIf([CheckBoxFieldName]=True,1,0))
in the ControlSource Property
 
Ok, I'll ask the dumb question, how do I know if its a continous form? Also
do I have to label my field "check box"

Let me ask first, what do you mean by saying each form, how many forms are
open?
Are wa talking about one forms with the records repeating them self, so it
looks like alot of forms conected to each other

By each form I mean my continuous forms. I have 4 tables connected to one
form. I have an Events field for participants in our organization. I have
about 30 event and I want to have check boxes for each different event. Im
wanting to have the field record each box that I check per-entry. The 1st
time I tried it each entry had the same check boxes, then I tried what you
said and now all the boxes get checked when i click on one, the only
difference is it doesn't apply to every entry. What am I not doing or doing
wrong?

It sound like the field (check box) in the form is not bounded to a field in
the table, when a field is not bounded in a continus form, the selection will
applay to all the forms.

Do you want to save this selection in a table?
If so, to which tables the form is bounded to, what is the record source of
e form.
Does the check box has a field that is dedicated to the check box in the form?

Did you lose me now?

I do want to save 'these' selections in the table. I do have a field (events)
that is dedicated to the check boxes. I just cant figure out how to have the
events field keep track of what boxes are clicked per entry.
