Display Check Boxes for Calculated Yes/No Fields 

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to show you how to display check boxes for calculated Yes/No fields, instead of just seeing 0 and -1.

Dana from Beaverton, Oregon (a Gold Member) asks: I know how to make a Yes/No field from a table appear as a check box in a query. However, is it possible to do that with calculated results? I don't see an option for a check box.
