Checkboxes Not Working on Form

[Guest]

Okay, I know this is very basic, but I can't figure it out!

I have a form with a tab control. On one of the tabs I have 8-10 unbound
checkboxes that I am using to allow users to select options before running a
series of update queries.

The problem is that when I open the form, the checkboxes don't respond. I
click on one and the value doesn't change (i.e. a check mark doesn't show up
or disappear if there's already one there). I have also tried linking to the
OnClick event and GotFocus event (and others), and those are not being called.

I set the default value to False on all the checkboxes. Other than that,
and the fact that they are unbound, I have done nothing special to them.
They are not a part of an option group, they're all separate. Seems simple,
but it's not working. What am I missing here?

Thanks,

Update: I just made a simple form and added three check boxes. They all
work fine. Still don't know why the checkboxes on the tab sheet don't work
right.

I don't either! Been using them on tabbed pages for a long time!

Basic questions: did you check the Locked properties of the checkboxes? Did
you check the Locked property of your tab control? Are you certain that the
checkboxes are unbound? Can other fields on the tab control be changed? Is
the AllowEdits property of the form set to True?
