I tried that. There are problems starting with when to build the records? There are thousands of these records so I really only wanted to generate records for the specific records they wanted to print, which is why I am doing it this way to start with. >The only time then you'd delete a selected record is if the main record gets deleted. Yea, I really ran into this because I was going into the table and manually deleting the select records. It PROBABLY won't be something that ever crops up but it's a nasty one if it does. John W.

I believe you'll find that it's because your using the outer join. The same problem occurs with ODBC linked tables at times. I would try prefilling the select table with one record for each of the main records and doing an inner join. The only time then you'd delete a selected record is if the main record gets deleted. As for inserts into the selected table, you might want to handle those manually via code and keep the selected table's PK out of the underlying query.

I create a table local to the FE with two fields: SelectedID Long Selected Boolean I modify the form's query to do an outer join between the pk of the original table and SelectedID. I add a check box to the form bound to the Selected field. Whenever the user clicks the check box a record is created in the new table, the SelectedID is set to the PK of the original table and the Selected field is set true. All fine so far. Printing works fine - filter on records with a join to this table and selected = true. The odd behavior comes if I delete the records in the new Selected table. If I build a query that displays the original table joined to the Selected table, when I delete any records in the Selected table, the fields in the query from the Selected table display the words "Deleted" and I can no longer enter any data in that field because I get a JET error "record deleted by user". I have to requery the query and then I can again create new records. This is an issue because the FORM's recordset works until I delete a record in the selected table, then the checkbox FOR THAT RECORD ceases to work for no apparent reason. The reason of course is this problem discussed above. John W.
