arrays

[jamesT]

I have a form which hold details of for sales orders.

I want to be able to tick a box in the list and that record gets stored in an array. I can then printout a list of of the orders stored in that array.

No idea how to start can anyone help

Thanks

In general, you do NOT want to use arrays for the purpose you just described.

If the tick in the box is stored in a Boolean item in the record, you could go back and print selectively. I keep a "SELECTED" Boolean field in all my reportable records. My reports have the ability to filter for "SELECTED" records only.

Then, all you need is to have some code or a triggerable update query that erases all of the tick marks when you are done with them.
