I understand your reply, and this is what the Access documentation states.
However, when I set the format in the table design to Yes/No, I don't get the
checkbox in the datasheet view for the table(even after setting up a form
with this field as a source for a checkbox control). I get 'Yes/No' in the
column instead of a checkbox. I am looking for a way to force the display
format to a checkbox. I have another database which displays checkboxes, but
there is nothing different I can see about the table design from the database
I'm trying to force to checkboxes, or options, or anything else. It is a
mystery to me. If anyone knows the solution to this mystery, I'd be very
grateful for it.
