How do I Change a List Box's Check Box Size

29 New Member
I am using MS Access 2007, I want to change the size of the Check Box that is displayed when a Value List is displayed for multiple selection. I changed the font size but I need to change the Check Box Size as well. I read in a previous reply that you can change a single check box but substituting the Wingding Font. But I need to change the Check Box Size for each value in a List Box. Can it be Done?

Not that I know off. Perhaps a third party supplier has an ActiveX control with the possibility you need.
Another option might be to use a continuous subform and use your own created .jpg images to mimic the needed larger size.

Will be tricky as continuous forms will need the image to be "bounded" to a tablefield. So an additional field needs to be defined, else all images will react.

The Onclick Event of the image needs to be used to switch from True.jpg to False.jpg or vise versa.

Just give that a try.

Do you know of any tried part Active X controls off hand that allows for a bigger checkmark? Can you give me an idea where to look for them?
Thanks

How do I add an activex control to access 2007?

Check:

The Insert ActiveX Control button looks like an O with a red X and is located bottom right in the Controls group of the Design tab when having a form in design mode.

This week’s Tip of the Week will clearly demonstrate how you can dynamically set the Drop Down List Width of a Combo Box to the length of the longest item in its Row Source.
