REMOVE CHECKBOX BORDER from an access REPORT

[619Ghz]

Im creating a report with checkboxes on'em, the problem is, it would look nicer if you'll only see a check mark on the column where it has check on it, and without the box itself..It shouldn't show any empty box without a check.. but I can;t seem to remove the border for the checkboxes...

any other way to do this?

Thanks for the help!!!

Use a text box with a control source like:
=IIf([YNField],"x","&quot
Then set the font to Wingdings or just leave it. The Character Map shows all the available characters.

Make sure you change the name of the text box so that it is not the same as a field name.

That's a good way to do it!
so I guess there's just no way to format the checkbox itself huh..

Cool, Thanks

Check boxes have 3 states: Checked, unchecked, and no value. All of the display of these have borders.
