(Hmm, in this case I wonder why you don't add the "Print" option to the
"Main" table, instead of having it in a separate table, but that's
another story.)

Hmm.

Master form bound to main, sub form bound to PrintList, connected via
MainID/MainID (as master/detail fields of the sub form).

In this simple form, this will probably be a somewhat clumsy UI, since
the user would need to focus a sub form control (the "Print" checkbox),
and pres the "new record" button before checking it. Surely not what
s/he expects.

If you don't like this (which I could understand :), add a "Print" check
box to the main form, but when it's clicked, execute a macro which
inserts/updates the PrintList table. You'd also need to intialize it
every time the form moves to a new record.

Other than that, I don't have an idea ATM. If you wouldn't need update
but only display capabilities, you could base your form on a joined
query ... But yes, that's not what you want. Sorry, no more ideas except
the Basic macros.

Ciao
Frank
