Hi Mrkeith,

Yes, that can be done, but it requires vba code attached to the checkbox in Word that starts Access, opens the database file, selects the required record or whatever, then updates the Access checkbox. This requires considerable code just for error-checking (eg is Access already running, is the database already open), quite apart from the code that actually does the work.
