Software

thanks a lot for the reply Peconet, small problem however, i don't have a single clue about access at all, and i know it sounds silly that i'm still attempting to make a database but somehow i've managed through a lot of trial and error to hash together something that vaguely resembles something i could use, except the check boxes. when i select a check box in form view, that check box stays selected in all new entries. i apologise for the lack of knowledge and stupdity on my part but if you could possibly break it down as simply as possible i would very very highly appreciate it. thanky you once again.

thanks for your suggestion Peconet, but through a bit more hashing and playing around i realised that all i needed to do was to create yes/no fields which i didn't do in the first place... thanks a lot anyways though. much appreciated for your help
