I would set up a numeric field called "Favorite," place it on a layout as a check box using a value list called "Checked." The only value specified in the value list is the number 1. Adjust the width of the field to show only the check box, not the 1.

The user can check the box for favorites, search on them, sort them, and because the value is 1, you can count them. The 1 just makes it nice & flexible for future data massage!

Good luck!
