I think I know which videos you are referrring to.

I'll say it here, I don't design many reports! Couldn't you basically use the same technique on the report or something real close to it.

What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to be able to click it in a report, or just make checkboxes that are visibly bigger on your report?

You should be able to use the same setup. If it's just for displaying then maybe you use something like IIF(MyField=True,"P","") kind of thing. But need to know what you're trying to do.

Responding to Jeffery- I cannot use the same technique that is shown on the video for a form on a report.  This is why I keep trying to tell you guys that the video is incomplete because the video title says forms and reports but you only show how to with a form.

Responding to Adam- The default check mark is way too small to see on a report.  The video shows how to use a toggle button in place of a check box so that you can change the picture to show a much larger check mark but the video doesn't show how to do it on a report.  I am not trying to click on it to do anything, it's just a large check mark that shows on a report.

As long as you're not trying to change the value, you can use a text box on a report.

Set the Control Source to your field
Set the Font to "WingDings 2"
Set Border to transparent Or if you want a double-border leave it solid
Set the Format property to ";\P;\O"
You can use conditional formatting for the font color and background as usual

This will create either a checkmark ("\P") if it's checked or an "X" ("\O") if it's not checked.

If you want the check to have it's own fitted border, change the "\P" to "\R"
If you want the x to have it's own fitted border, change the "\O" to "\Q"

If it's a triple-state field, you can add an additional formatting parameter to the end: ";\*". This will Add an empty check box.

Responding to Donald- Font is not available for a check box, it is grayed out in the menu bar and it is not available in the property sheet.  This is why the video posted by your website recommends to use a toggle instead so that you can change the font.

@0[Patrick-Snyder] Read Donald's reply again. He said to use a Text Box, not a Check Box.

Kevin- I tried a text box, but all I see is the wingdings, no check mark or X.

Notice that you have to put the values I indicated in the Format Property of the text box, in this sample, I have it set to a yes/no type record source.

A yes/no is essentially a number field. If it's not checked, the number will be zero and if it's checked, the number will be -1. Although, in Access any number other than 0 will be changed to a -1 for a True value in a yes/no field.

The format property for a numeric text box accepts up to four parts:
1) What to show if the value is position
2) What to show if the value is negative
3) What to show if the value is zero
4) What to show if the value is null

When used for a yes/no field, the positive value will be ignored, hence why there is nothing before the 1st semi-colon. Then, the \P will show a checkmark for a negative value (-1 for yes/checked), followed by the semi-colon to separate it. Then the \O will show an x for zero which means the box is unchecked followed by a semi-colon.

If you want, you can add another semi-colon and put a format for null values, however, with a yes/no field, the only time you will see it is on a new record. However, as I showed above, for a triple-state box, you can use it.

Kevin- your first response showed the property with quotation marks.  Your third response with the screen shot showed it without the quotation marks in the property field.  Once I removed the quotation marks, it worked fine.  I just need to do some formatting.

Thank you.

Sorry for the confusion
