Making Check Boxes

Thank you so much for your help. I will look over the tutorials and hopefully
they will get me far enough where I can complete this database. Thank you so
much again- and hopefully, I won't bother you with any more questions. Thanks
again.

Unfortunately, I do not know how to bind any fields to any particular
contact, and it would be too much to ask for a detailed "how-to" but is there
a quick way to explain how to bind the information so my check boxes work
properly? I am somewhat new to creating new forms and tables with Access, so
forgive me if I seem naive on the Access lingo. Thanks so much for your time!

Again:

*Start with the Tables*.

Don't even OPEN the forms window until you have tables with all of the fields
needed to store the information that you want to record.

This would include a Yes/No field in the appropriate table (which I can't
really identify based on what you've posted).

Once you have your tables set up, with all the needed fields and
relationships, *then* create your Form.

You might want to look at some of the tutorials and sample databases

Access 2007 may be different, but I could not find the Control Source option.
Any other suggestions?

First read John W. Vinson's response.

I assume your form uses a query to pull records from your table.
Open the form in design view. Right click the form and select Properties.
Click on the checkbox and then click in the Control Source property to select
your field.

How do I go about binding the field to the record? Is it in properties?

The checkbox needs to be bound to a field in the table so the record will
store the information.

I am using the Student form for (obviously) a list for students. I had to add
check boxes through the design view, but when I click on the check boxes for
each contact, it clicks it for ALL of the students. How do I make the check
boxes check for each individual contact without it checking all of them?
Thanks.

You're most welcome - and indeed you're most welcome to keep asking questions
as needed. We're all volunteers here and we wouldn't be here if we didn't want
to help folks! So don't hesitate to post back if you're confused about a
tutorial or about your table/form structures.
