Does any of you programmers know how I can program any of the mouse buttons
(double clicking left or right button or even single clicking the roller) to
produce a check mark or even an X in a text file. I am not a programmer and
having problem with configuring shortcut keys.

We have purchased a windows application written in Access that uses various
text fields and gets texts with text already defined from access database.
I'd like to insert a text file that has forms like:
GENDER ( ) Female ( ) Make

And then users be able to just click a button on the mouse to select it
(checkmark preferred or an X is fine), rather than typing an X in ( ).

Thank you
Shawn

Without a better idea of the underlying field definition, it's tough to tell
whether the control on the form is for a Yes/No field (checkbox) or a text
value of "X".

If the former, you can use the tab key to get to the field/control, and the
spacebar to 'check' it.

There is no field persay. It is a fild of just text that gets populated from
a database. imagine filds are like Notepad. Such as:
Gender ( ) M ( ) F
Age ( ) 0-15 ( ) 16-25 ( )26-90

And 20 other questions like that.

Instead of moving the curser between paranthesis and typing an X, we like to
be able to click and place an X. IS that possible?
