I have just created a database for my birding life list. (I know, sounds like a code unless you are into birds.) I would like to be able to indicate on each record (if needed) whether the bird's name is recently changed/updated or not, and if there are other factors listed or not. With HyperCard I could easily create and script a check box (click once and an "X" appears, click again and it disappears...for each individual record). Or, similarly, create a clickable radio-type button (click once to indicate it's been clicked, or click again to remove the indication).

If it were only 1 button or box, then I could easily create an alternate button graphic for a 2nd otherwide duplicate layout. But, I need the 2 choices for each record. Too many permutations of "on" and "off" for the 2 buttons. How might I go about doing this? Please note I am a beginner with FP. Simpler answers (if possible) would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rich

Not sure where your difficulty lies - perhaps the attached file might show you some options.
