I created one query to find the data i needed to "mark for delete", and I'm
trying to use a second query to refer back to the first and only "mark" those
part numbers for deletion. Is there a simple way for me to have this field
automatically "check" it self?

Thanks! Lisa
 
Make your 'select' query into an 'update' query and update the checkbox for
all the selected records to a value of "true".
 
Use an update query for the first and update the field to -1 (minus one).
 
I changed my type of query to an update query -put the "true" in the "update
to" row. Now i'm getting an error of "mut be an updatable query". I think
it's because i'm trying to update a table - using this query. Is there a way
to update a table using a query? if so, is there a special way to classify
the table? Keep in mind the table i'm trying to update is a hyperlink to the
web.. Any feedback you can give me is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks again for
your help!
Lisa
