    Bind checkbox to Combobox

    Hi all,



    I'm pretty new to Access and I'm having some difficulty getting a check box to do what I need it to do.

    I've got a combo box and a check box next to one another. I would like the check box to be checked automatically when a user selects an option from the combo box drop down.

    Click image for larger version.

    My apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I searched the forum and wasn't able to come up with anything.

    Thank you,

    Evan

    And unchecked if they remove the mailed by entry? If so, why bother with the checkbox? The presence of a selection in mailed by tells you whether it was mailed or not. The checkbox is basically a calculated field, which generally shouldn't be saved. Bind it to an expression:

    =IIf(IsNull([Mailed By]), False, True)
