is there a function or a way to determine if a checkbox is selected? I'd like to run two scripts.

One is if button is clicked check the specified checkbox from value list, then return a calculated result into specified field.

Then script two is a startup script that checks the date in the specified field and if equals current date then deselects the checkbox associated.

I am only asking for guidance, not anyone going out of there way and writing a script. What are your thoughts?

In your scripts, make use of If [isEmpty (field)], Set Field [ ], and Get (CurrentDate).

IsEmpty! Perfect. That's what I needed to know. I'm new to db development, but im loving every moment of it.

Thanks

Yes, it can be quite addicting! A reference source I highly recommend to you is Using FileMaker 7, Special Edition, ISBN 0-7897-3028-6
