Hi Andy How are things?? Say Hello to your lovely for me In cases like this in the on_click of a check box I just look at its current value. Then run a query based on the opposite value then refresh or Requery the screen Eg If Me.chkCheckBox = -1 then docmd.openquery "upd_qryThatChangesTheValueForThisRecordToZero ElseIf Me.chkCheckBox = 0 then docmd.openquery "upd_qryThatChangesTheValueForThisRecordToMinus1 End if Me.requery And if needed set a bookmark or global so you can return to the Relavant record after a requery Hope this helps And we'll see you.........:-))) DD -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Andy Lacey Sent: Thursday, 18 November 2004 9:50 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] Updatable UNION?
