    Clear check boxes

    I have a simple table with Text [item] and checkbox [Needed]


    I would like the table to clear the check box upon opening each time.
    Is this possible?

    As you can tell I am a complete novice here

    Except for data macros, cannot have code behind tables.

    Users should not interact with tables and queries. Build forms and reports as user interface.

    Code behind a form can run an action SQL to update the checkbox field, example:

    CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tablename SET fieldname=False"

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
