selecting multiple rows in a continuous form

[rashima]

Hi,

Is it possible to select multiple rows in a continuous form using the ctrl
key and not the shift key (similar to the list box behavior)? I need to
select rows in diferent places on the form.

Thanks in advance,

No, unlike Excel or a multi-select listbox, selection in continuous or datasheet views must be sequential. Try it and see.

You might consider adding a Bound Control, say a Checkbox or Radio Button, and select your Records via this route. You could later deselect them, when closing the Form or at some other point in the process, through an Update Query or by walking through a RecordSetClone and resetting them to False.

Good point Missinglinq. Since each desired record would have to be clicked anyway, just click a checkbox. Create a yes/no field in table to bind checkbox control to.
