CheckBox Display in Crystal Report 1

[takume]

Hi Mkoslof, Thanks for your reply about my problems. However, i don't know why it cannot display the checkbox and uncheck box ??? The following is my code of a formula field. I tested field1 is true by output some normal text but it cannot output Chr(254) and chr(168) ?? why ??

if {filed1} = true then
formula = chr(254)
else
formula = chr(168)
end if

Did you change the font to Wingdings?

Also, you didn't respond to a post, you created a new post.

I've 'cheated' at creating Crystal checkboxes by drawing a box and then conditionally printing an X in them.

Is there a better way?
or a way to print the check mark?

This is something I have wanted to do in the past (although not now) and so I tried synapsevampire's suggestion and it worked fine. You just need to change the field font to wingdings

...as synapsevampire mentioned anyway!

Another formula would be:

If {table.field} = "something" then chr(254) else 'x'

Change the font to wingdings

This will create a check mark/cross with a box around it.
