DLookup can only return a single value.
From Microsoft's website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208786):
From Microsoft's website (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208786):
The DLookup() function returns one value from a single field even if more than one record satisfies the criteria. If no record satisfies the criteria, or if the domain contains no records, DLookup() returns a Null.

...should not enter a "brief description" with enter key...:-)
I wanted to add that you should better use a subform and then show the wanted records instead. As you already have a checkbox field in the table you can add this so the user can check or uncheck any row or you can use your UPDATE command to check/uncheck them. The query needed for the subform would be your Query1. No problems with DLookup or VBA code to assemble a string with a recordset.
