Need to use a yes/no box on a form to drive a table update

Current problem deals with three tables in my database. The
"DOCUMENTSL IST" table has a one-to-many relationship to the
junction table (DOCUMENTS/PROJECTS) which, in turn, has a many-to-one
relationship to the "PROJECTS" table.

The tables have the following fields:
DOCUMENTSLIST DOCUMENTS/PROJECTS PROJECTS
Document ID (P key) Documents/Projects ID (P key) Project ID (P key)
Type Project ID (F key) Project Name
DID Number Document ID (F key) Project Type
Document Name Responsible Officer Organization
Required (Y/N box) Preliminary Date `Comments
----- Draft Date POCs ID (F Key)
----- Final Date -----
----- Comments -----

Structure of the primary form: The PROJECTS table drives the main form
and displays the project name, project type and organization. I then
want to use a documents tab on the primary form to display information
related to specific documents associated with the project. There are
many documents which would potentially apply to a given project and the
DOCUMENTSLIST table lists all possibilities. I have placed a command
button on the documents tab subform to pop-up a form listing all the
documents with a yes/no box beside each to allow a user to select those
documents that apply to the specific project. This form populates the
"Required" y/n box in the DOCUMENTSLIST table. This table is then
used to drive a "documents_sele cted" query to get the list of just
the applicable documents.

I plan to put a command button on this pop-up form to run a macro which
will:
A) update the DOCUMENTS/PROJECTS table with the documents selected.;
B) clear the checked boxes on the pop-up form so the next user has a
clean form to work with.
C) Close the pop-up document selection form.

The issue: How do I make the DOCUMENTS_SELEC TED query update the
DOCUMENTS/PROJECTS table? Have looked through this newsgroup and
haven't found the answer that I think will let me do this. Any help
anyone can provide will be much appreciated.

Hey Everyone.. I have a form that has approximately 7 text fields and 1 checkbox. Generally when this form is submitted(to itself BTW) it works fine, however, when the checkbox is only field that has been modified/clicked the form doesn't always submit. When it does work, a Stored procedure is passed form variables and updates to the db are made. When it doesn't, its as if the form wasn't submitted, it reloads and resets the page, but...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
