Consumer reports symbols in access

[tbac]

I would like to use symbols similar to Consumer Reports for an access report for a ratings table. For example: an open circle, circle with a dot, circle half-black and black circle. Is there any way to make a field that would store a symbol? I would rather not do it by inserting an image

You should be able to use the Wingdings2 font. For instance the character » should appear as a solid semi-circle. Your Accessories->System Tools->Character Map shows all of the fonts and characters.

Thanks, I have a text field in Access. I copied the Wingding2 circle with black dot, then pasted it into the text field in Access and it comes out as a rectangle. Is there some way you know of to make it display correctly?

Did you set the font of the text box to Wingdings2?
