Selecting all Check Boxes on a Continuous Form

This tip will show you how to make a command button that checks all records using a check box that we will call [Include].

To do this:

Add a command button to the form without using the wizard, and then to the 'On Click' event add the following code (below the (***):

This code creates a copy of the records populating the form (recordsetclone). It then moves to the first record and changes the text box [Include] value to -1 (=True or Yes), it then moves to the next record and so on, until it reaches the end of the recordset (EOF = End Of File). The form is then re-queried so that the ticks are displayed in the check boxes.

*****************

On Error GoTo ErrorHandler

Dim db As Object

Dim rst As Object

Set db = Application.CurrentDb

Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone

rst.movefirst

    Do Until rst.EOF

            rst.edit

            rst!Include = -1

            rst.update

            rst.movenext

          Loop

Me.Requery

rst.Close

Exit Sub

ErrorHandler:

MsgBox "Error Number: " & err.Number & " " & err.Description

***************

Change ‘Include’ to the name of your check box.
