Checkbox background color?

[jal]

I have a government form on paper with checkboxes (white background on each checkbox).

To reproduce this form in Access, I dropped some checkboxes on a report. When I do a print, though, the checkboxes are gray-shaded intead of white-backgrounded.

I want this to look like an official copy of the govt docuument (which has about 28 checkboxes). How do I get rid of the gray shading?

I am not sure if I recall this correctly, but I think the gray color comes from a checkbox having a null field (and if correct - a checkbox has three states on/off/null). You can test this by checking a checkbox, then unchecking it and run the report. Obviously, if it is not gray, then the above is true and you would need to default your checkbox fields to 0.

I think dk recalls correctly, as Null will display as gray. You could also base the checkbox on an expression that used the Nz() function to convert Null to False.
