checkboxes in reports 2

[Guest_imported]

Hello,

I am trying to convert an Access Report into a .rtf document to be sent weekly by email to clients. When Access does the convertion, the checkboxes disappear!!!
Any advices are welcome.
Thanx in advance.

Rather than use the checkboxes, make a textbox that looks at the field and provides a Yes/No answer.

Sample Code: set this as controlsource in your controls.
=iif([MyCheckBoxField]=-1,"Yes","No&quot

.RTF doesn't support anything but text, so you won't be able to get the checkboxes to appear. If you need the checkboxes you'll have to use SnapShot or possible Word format.

You also lose other formatting when exporting to word as well. I had to enter - - - - - - - in a label in order to show record breaks. Using the line tool from access shows up fine in access, or when printing from access, but most other formatting gets lost.
