Thanks for your reply. As mentioned in my above reply to June7, I am/was aware of the check boxes all being bound to the same fields. They are placeholders only, intended to show the needed content/layout. I wanted to ask the community how best to proceed before spending oodles of time likely going down the wrong path. I did so with the Excel version of this database, and it is now crazy laggy. I want to make sure that I'm building this db relatively efficiently so that it continues to work well even after doubling or quadrupling the number of jobs/records it contains.
Also, I found a workaround for the conditional formatting. I create a text box, and then set Enabled to "No", lock it, and added a conditional formatting rule for that text box.
Code:
[Job_Number_List]![Unit_Good?]=Yes
Where the "Unit_Good?" column in my "Job_Number_List" table contains a Yes/No Data type field who's state is currently toggled by the check boxes. Since text boxes are so versatile, I figure that I can use them as a conditionally formatted background for any number of graphical elements in my form.
