Check box format option

[Guest]

Hi,

is it possible to change the appearance of a printed check box ?
I am looking to print only the check inside the box not the box and the check.
I have tried changing the border style to transparent or the color to white
but no success.

TIA

An easy way...

Add an unbound text control to the report.
Set it's control source to the Check Box field.
Set it's Format property to:
;ü;
Set it's FontStyle to Wingdings
You can size the control to whatever size you wish.

Another eay way...
Add an unbound text control to the report.
Set it's control source to:
=IIf([CheckField] = True, chr(252),"")

Set this control's FontStyle to Wingdings
You can make the FontSize as large as you want.

Look up the special characters available in the Character Map program.
