Opening records in a database that includes checkboxes changes the checkbox to unchecked even if previously checked causing confusion.

While on the screen for an open record, pressing the right arrow to view the next one will transfer some data to the next record (eg dates).

Thanks for your posting. Can you clarify the above? Does this happen on every database for you?

There is'nt any other way to count specific groups of records other than count ones with a check mark that I know of so I hope this gets fixed.

That is a mandatory function for me unless there is another way to count groups.

Are you wanting to apply a filter and then show a total number of records matching the filter's criteria?

[glenwf]

I think that might work. Now I have a check box for present. Then I run a report on how many are present.

I didn't think I could find the number on a filtered item. I can run the filter on a word, but then how do I determine how many agree with the filter? I can't run a report on a filter or a view unless it is a number or a check I believe.
