I am looking for an image of a circle with an x through it. I searched the character map and did not find one. I searched google and found here that I could make my own character. The issue with this is that the machine that I will install the db on, I don't have admin rights, so I don't know if I will be able to install a custom character. The end result is that I need a combo box on a form and a control on a report to display -,0,/,X, or the custom character. Anyone have any input on how to handle this?

I would just trawl Google for a JPG or BMP of the image you require and store it in a table in the appropriate record as Data Type "OLE Object"

Table would look something like, e.g.
Value "1" = "JPG_1"
Value "2" = "JPG_2"
Value "3" = "JPG_3"

I have in the past used this technique to bring "smilies" onto Customer Statements, depending on how many days Overdue.
