i have several checkboxes on a report. is there a way to remove the box around the checkbox?

Hi

Not directly in Access as far as I'm aware. You could create a graphic (or maybe use a font that includes a tick in a textbox) and hide/unhide the image or textbox depending on the value of your (hidden) checkbox

Another way is in the query add an IIF statement to say IIF([CheckBox]=yes,"Yes","No")

You can then add this to the report instead of the checkbox.

Just an approach I have used before.

Hi,
another approach would be to use wingdings characters in labels or textboxes to simulate the checkbox.
Check this discussion for more on this.

Good luck

Jim, i like your idea, however i need checkmarks to appear, not yes/no. its just the boxes i want to hide.

Oli. i've looked at the samples using wingdings. however using that method, it doesnt seem possible to bind it to a field.

i thought there was a simple solution :(
