Check box

[Michael]

I have a datasheet and I would like to add a check box so I can check the
records entered with my paperworks. The check boxes are not bound, I don't
need them to be saved with the table.

How can I do this?

I don't think you can do this. If you add an unbound check box to a
continuous form or datasheet then its value will appear to be the same in
each record.

Anyway, don't you want the value stored in a table? How else will you know
which records you have checked, and which you have not?

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Indeed, the problem is that with an unbound check box, every instances
behave as one.

The reason I don't want the value stored is that I will not need it again
later. I just need it once per session.

Thanks

The reason I don't want the value stored is that I will not need it again
later. I just need it once per session.

Does that matter? Adding another boolean field to the table certainly looks
like the easiest way of doing this. If you don't need to use the value
again, so what - it won't do any harm, will it?

I suppose you could find a way of storing the check values in a temporary
table, but this would be more effort.

I finally added a field to the table...

Thank you for the advice.
