Checkboxes in a Form

D

Denise

I want to have a checkbox automatically be checked in my form when it opens
up. I.E., Yes (Check if yes) No (Check if no) N/A Show up checked

So I don't have to click all of the N/A in the questions if it doesn't apply.

Thanks.

In your form area in the properties area the default value should be -1

All new records will be checked. The user would have to click the area to
uncheck the field.

What's the structure of your Table? If it has these three fields, your table
structure isn't properly normalized: you could have a record that has ALL
THREE fields True, or none at all!

I'd suggest instead having ONE field, Integer datatype, with values 1 = Yes, 2
= No, and 3 = N/A. Put an Option Group control on the form with a default
value of 3 and these three options, and make the field required in your table.
