resize check box

[Guest]

Hi,

No matter what I do I cannot seem to resize the check box. I change the
size of the frame but the box stays the same. I am sure I am simply
overklooking something simple, but I've wasted most the day on this, please
help

Mike,

What's the size of the field in the table where the Checkbox will be going
to?

You can't resize a checbox.

There are some tricks out there that involve using a character from
WingDings font to simulate a checkbox. When you click it, it fires an event
to change the value of the field you specify and it replaces the character
(an empty box) with another character (a checked box). But the actual
checkbox control in Access is set in size.

Do a search and read the previous posts if you wnat to use the work around.
