Thank you for your comment. &nbsp;The database which I am working with contains information about our clients which I cannot post, nor can I upload a blank database because the file extension is not accepted by Experts Exchange. &nbsp;So I posted a blank database at <a href="http://www.mauitradewinds.com/Experts" rel="ugc">www.mauitradewinds.com/Experts</a>&nbsp; &nbsp; I hope this will be helpful. &nbsp; Marking a record consists of placing a tick in the left-hand column.

OK, thank you for checking that. &nbsp; Right now, it isn't worth switching to Access to gain that feature.

I still prefer to use Microsoft Works databases for some applications, while Microsoft Office Access is used for other purposes. &nbsp;I wonder if there is a way to use a VB Script to mark records in a Works database, if the value in a specified field meets certain criteria?<br />
If so, can you provide code to mark a record if the value in a field named &quot;Days to Arrival&quot; is &lt;60, and unmark it if the value in that field is &quot;N/A&quot;?

Can I automate the marking of a Works database record with VB script?

Microsoft applications include a variety of software programs, including development and digital authoring programs (Expression and Media Center), educational programs, Internet software, including Essentials, Skype and the Live family, anti-virus, productivity applications and suites like Office, Excel, Word, Outlook, Access and PowerPoint, video games and server applications such as Exchange, SharePoint, IIS and Virtual Server.

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
