How do you have your unbound checkboxes set up? I had assumed your check box was bound to a field in the table because, as far as I know, they can't be used in continous forms without some very complex code.

Yeah previously i used the continuous form with a checkbox that was bound,

i just realised that in this situation (building now) that it isnt bound, anyway to spoof a checkbox in the select query that the form is based upon!?

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be editable. You may have to add a field for it.

Have you considered a listbox? I have a form with 2 listboxes, one with unselected items, and one with selected. Arrow buttons in between to move things back and forth. Once the items are added to the listbox, it's easy to loop through them and create the string.
