Anybody have a creative way (or any way, lol) to make a checkbox checkmark print less bold than it does? I can alter the way the border prints but I cannot alter the checkmark. It's a minor thing but the boss really would like to avoid making the checkmark stand out unnecessarily.
Thanks,
Jim
Jim,
I tried this: Create an identically sized rectangle and add two cross hairs, all with border width of Hairline. Then you can adjust the color however you wish. If the checks (cross hairs) are dependent upon a field, I guess you could add VBA for an OnCurrent Event to make them either visible or invisible. See: 
Other than that, I think the Check Box Control is what it is. I've heard of some add-on software that can alter them, but I don't think it is intrinsic to MS Access.
Best of luck!

Thanks, twinny, nice illustration. I suppose I could even make the result look like a checkmark if I just adjust the diagonal lines a bit.
I wonder if I could make that an installable object. I suppose that would be done with a class.
Thanks again!
Hmmmmmmmmm, a CheckBox Class.....
Very interesting! Could be scalable, colorable, options for Check or x, tie it to a Yes/No Field....
If you end up developing such a monster, that is definitely worth a post to the VBA Insights!
