Edit parent field on child table.

Is there a way to edit a field on a parent table from a child table. I have a field "Checkbox - Occupied" that needs to be editable from a child form (it could be on multiple forms), and no matter where it is checked it can be unchecked from the parent table.

    Yes, you can make a new field on the child table which is a report link field type. 
      
    The left side will be configured with [Related Parent]
    The right side will be configured to [Record ID#] of the parent table.

    Put that on the child form ands display the records directly on the form and set the form properties to put that report into Grid Edit mode when the child record is edited.
