Many to Many

Just wondering of there is anyway at all to use the junction tables that are used in many to many relationships with the interface on a form of Yes/No Checkboxes, or drop-down lists where you can choose multiple options like a Value List does? I ask because I'm designing a database and just don't like using sub forms. they take up so much space and some of the fields have 20 or so options, and that can take up a lot of screen space. Would rather use check boxes or drop-down lists but have the data stored in the junction tables. Is this possible at all?

Hi David, Do you have yes/no fields in your table? Tell us more about what you are thinking.  John

Hi David,
You could create a form based on the junction table. I would suggest that you make the form read only so one doesn't accidently change one of the fields from the related tables. I have done that many times.  John
