My form displays multiple records (2 rows each) and I have specific fields across the record that I want to update by clicking on a tickBox or entering info in a text field.
As a result of a comboBox field changing in record I need to change the tickbox to Enabled = false.

My problem is that the same tick Box is changed in every record. How can I update individual records without effecting others.

Default View on the form = Continuous Forms

Record Type = Dynaset

are these settings appropriate ??

Any assistance would be appreciated
 
if the tick box is unbound, it will 'appear' as if they ALL are the same value.
only boxes bound to a field will have differnt values.
 
The controls on each of the multiple forms on Continuous Forms are renderings of the same control. Hence changing the properties will change them all.

The only way simple way around this is to use Conditional Formatting which can conditionally alter the Enabled property of the control on individual records. Unfortunately Conditional Formatting is not available for checkboxes.

Investigate using a textbox so you can use their Conditional Formatting. The checked/unchecked can be displayed as data that is greyed out when disabled. They can even be configured to look like a button.

If you really need to do it how you wanted, take a look at ChrisO's Grouped Forms
 
The tick box is bound and the value is ok for different records but when it is enabled = false all of them are greyed out

Thanks for you help guys. I will have a go at your suggestions and also lookup the link you mentioned.

Thanks again
 
Thanks again for your suggestions. I read the link details and decided against the multiple subforms - I have too many records.

I overcome the problem by not trying to set the tick box to enabled=False

when the user tried to set the tick box on with the trigger set I set the tick box back to false. The desired result was achieved

Thanks again for all your help:)
