I am trying to create a form that will display a solid box for a positive condition instead of the standard check box. Does anyone know how to accomplish this? Thanks!
 
Just do a graphic box and make visible or not with the oncurrent event...

Reports do not have On Current as an event, therefore you will need to code the open and activate events for the graphic following kens suggestion.

My bad - I assumed I was in the forms thread section... :o
 
Code :( That is what I was afraid of. I am a newbie of sorts especially when it deals with code. It looks like this is over my head. Thanks anyways for the suggestions. Maybe this will inspire me to dig into learning code.
 
I just thought of something, I could do an =IIf([Field]="True","m","n") using Wingdings as the font and it would display a solid box or hollow box. It works as far as displaying the correct font but I am getting the same symbol for every record. It is not changing if the Field is True or False. Any Ideas? By the way, I am just using a text box and defining the condition in it. Is there a better way to display text in this situation.

Update.....
I have been playing with this and it works fine now. I use the iif([Field],-1,"g","c") statment as if I was wanting to print a g or c and then change the font to Webdings. This allows me to use the solid and open box characters in the font. This should work for any object in any font you would like to use. You just have to figure out what letters result in the symbol you are looking for.
