Hello

Is it possible to have a checkbox on a continuous form that behaves
separately on each row without bounding the it to a field?

I cannot have it bound even to a temporary table because many users will
work on it at the same time, so if one user
checks a text box, it shouldn't get checked for all other users.

is there any solution?

Thanks for any suggestion

No. An unbound control has only one value for the entire form, so cannot
have different values on different rows.

Assuming you have a split database, you could create a table in the front
end and store the primary key values of the records the user selects. The
RecordSource of the form would then be a query that contains the original
(shared) table, with an outer join to the local user's table. In the query,
you could create a calculated field:
   IsChecked: ([MyLocalTable].[MyPK] Is Not Null)
Then you could represent it with a checkbox in your form, and overlay it
with another unbound control that does nothing except respond to its Click
event to Execute an Append or Delete query to add/remove the record from the
local table.

I believe MVP Albert Kallal has something you may be interested in.
Go to his site here:

Look for the download file called "Multi Select Example."
