Re: How to check a check box by clicking a button

Search the apps for one called 'Magic Buttons' from Kirk Trachy. All kinds of great examples in there, including exactly this. This is the code for checking and unchecking a box, then displaying the record.

If([Checkbox Field] = false, URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
    "&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
    "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" &
    "&_fid_59=1" & //this is the checkbox field
    "&rdr=" &
    URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
        "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]),

    URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
    "&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
    "&apptoken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" &
    "&_fid_59=0" & //this is the checkbox field
    "&rdr=" &
    URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
        "?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#]))

// Press the button and this changes the "Checkbox" to checked and returns to display record mode
// Press it again and this changes the "Checkbox" to unchecked and returns to display record mode
