Unchecking all check boxes on exit

[Ayiramala]

Hi,
I wanted to uncheck all check boxes on a form on exit. I added the following to the ON EXIT event of the form. It works, but takes a lot of time to finish. there are close to 700 records on this table:

Dim rs As DAO.Recordset

Set rs = Me.RecordsetClone


With rs
.MoveFirst

Do While Not rs.EOF
.Edit


!SELECT = 0
.Update
.MoveNext
Loop

End With

rs.Close

Set rs = Nothing

Me.Requery


End Sub

'SELECT' is the name of the check box. Is the code correct? If not, could you correct it?
Thanks.

I'm not really sure about the coding, but I do have a nice alternative:

I have something similar in my database, although, I just created an update query that selects all records checked "yes" and updates to "no." I think I use the On Close event to run the macro, just get rid of the warning popups in the macro! Hope that helps.

Thanks. That'll do exactly what I want to do. But the problem is, how do we remove those popups? Did a bit of a search and found someone's suggestion to use
DoCmd.SetWarnings False 'Turn off warnings
and later
DoCmd.SetWarnings True 'Turn warnings back

But how and where do we use them?

Don't have to bother with SetWarnings in VBA code:

CurrentDb.Execute "UPDATE tablename SET fieldname = False"
