Check box on form

I have added a check box in the detail section of a
continous form. If the box is checked, the user will be
able to click buttons to run actions for only the record
checked.

But, it is checking and unchecking for all the records,
not just the one I want. Should the check box go somewhere
else? How do I get it to allow the check ONLY for record I
want?
 
Unbound controls do not work well on continuous forms as
they behave the same on all instances of the form as you
have seen. To achieve the functionality that you are
after, you will probably have to change it to a single form.

Hope That Helps

If the check really is part of the information for that record, you can
consider making it a field in the table. How would you determine if the
user moves off the record and comes back at it that the checkbox was
checked in the first place?

You must add a check box field to the underlying table.
Then add that field to the form.
Each individual record is then either checked or not checked, and that
is how it will be on the form.
