Check Box -Cosmetic Question

[JustMaybe]

Okay…bit of a irrelevant question..for cosmetic purposes only….
But does anyone know how to make an actual check box bigger??? Surely theres a way to change it from the minute size it is???

Thanks if anyone can help…..

JustMaybe,

Good point, CheckBoxes are miserable little creatures.

You could make your real CheckBox invisible, create an
unbound text box. In the OnClick event you could toggle
the value of your real CheckBox. Then find a font that
has a symbol that looks like a CheckMark and either display
that or a space.

Good luck finding the right font.

I couldn't resist, Webdings is the font. It looks quite a bit
better than the default checkbox.

Just wanted to throw in a quick "thank you" to Wayne as well. I was searching the forums for a solution to this very problem. I stumbled upon this and "BAM". Problem fixed. Good call, Wayne.
