Continuous form problem

[jackrobyn1]

I have a text box that is greyed out until i click on a check box, this works
fine but for one thing..... its a contiuous form so it affects all my records
at the same time! instead of just the current record.
Is there a work around for this??
Any help will be greatly appreciated

That's the way continuous forms work. While it may look as though you've
got, say, 40 instances of the text box, you've actually got one text box
repeated 40 times.

You asked this question yesterday. If you are unhappy with the answer,
at least keep the follow up in the same thread. That way others will
be able to see what answer you have received, and not duplicate it.

What you are experiencing is normal behavior for an unbound control on
a continuous form.
If you bind the control (set it's control source to a field in the
table), then you can select or unselect the control on each record and
the other records will not be affected.
