Multiple Records from 1 Form

[Christoph]

Hi, it seems so simple but I just haven't been able to do the
following (I simplified the situation here a bit):

I have a very basic form that looks like this:


[ ] Alpha
[ ] Beta
[ ] Gamma


<SUBMIT>


In words: there are three checkboxes and a button at the end of the
form.


In addition, I have a basic table with only one text field "Letter"
defined.


When the button is pressed, I would like for as many records added to
the table as there are checkmarks. In other words, when only the
Alpha
checkbox is checked, I would like to add the following to my table:


Letter
--------------
Alpha


If Alpha and Beta are checked, I would like the following records
added to the table


Letter
--------------
Alpha
Beta


In other words, adding two records, etc. If all three are checked,
then three records are added.


I'm fine with VBA or whatever needs to be done but this has been
driving me crazy for a while now.


If this is the wrong group for this, I apologize. Maybe somebody can
point me into the right direction.


Any help is greatly appreciated.

You might try this:

On the: On click event procedure of SUBMIT command Button

If Alpha = -1 then DoCmd.OpenQuery "Alpha Query"
If Beta = -1 then DoCmd.OpenQuery "Beta Query"
If Gamma = -1 then DoCmd.OpenQuery "Gamma Query"

The Alpha Query is an Append Query that adds a record to your table with the
word "alpha" in the LETTER field.
The Beta Query is an Append Query that adds a record to your table with the
word "beta" in the LETTER field.
The Gamma Query is an Append Query that adds a record to your table with the
word "Gamma" in the LETTER field.

Hope this works for you.
