I have a column with boxes that can be check or unchecked individually...can
I uncheck an entire column at once? How?

Thanks
 
You could just remove that column from your table, and then re-add it
with the same name and properties.

That would set all the check boxes back to "Unchecked"
 
If it's one field on multiple records... (usually what is considered a 'column')
ex.
Name MaritalStatus
J Smith X
R Jones
G Brown X
H Ford
then run an Update query against the table, setting all that fields checkboxes to False.
Criteria the Update query for ALL records or a specific record, as you require.

If each check field is an individual field in your table
J Jones Marital X
OwnHome X
Veteran
GED
Over 50 X
then you'll have to manually code the False against each different field.
Marital = False
OwnHome = False
Veteran = False etc....

Use an update query.
Go to the query tab. Select new and design mode.
Add the table.
Add the (check box) field you need to update to the query.
From the Query menu, select Update Query.
In the box next to Update To:
enter....
False
Click the red ! exclamation point on the toolbar at the top to run the query.
