See my solution in this post,  I'm not aware of anyone else coming up with something better.

Lg Ck Box on Continuous Forms

Hi Justin

This works for me.

A field MARK in the tab;e

put Mark on the continuous form

A TextBox Showchk on the form
control source =IIf([mark]=True,Chr(252)," ")

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()
Me.Refresh
End Sub

Private Sub Showchk_AfterUpdate()
Me.Refresh
End Sub

   Private Sub Showchk_Click()
      [Mark] = Not ([Mark])
      'Me.Showchk.SetFocus
       Me.Showchk.SelStart = 0
       Me.Showchk.SelStart = Len(Me.Showchk)
       Me.Refresh
   End Sub
I have a screen clip of the continuous form but can't load it here.

Hi Justin
Font is Wingdings
John

"ROSTINSPACE" !! Ha ha!

Since you asked me. . .
I have my own trick. I add a ShortText Field to the table to which my Form is bound in addition to the Yes/No Field (boolean) which, of course, is bound to the standard Access CheckBox control.

________
Note: Wingdings chr(252) is a checque mark (displays in other fonts as "'")
When the Boolean field is "Yes" this ShortTex field contains "'" [ chr(252) ]. When "No", the Field is empty (Null).  I set this at an Event Trigger, as named below.
This TextBox is formatted -- font: Wingdings, colour: Green, size: 15pt. All other Form Fields are Black and 13pt, Bahnschrift Condensed.
------------

My continuous Forms include BOTH the CheckBox AND the ShortTextBox controls in the repeating Detail row; however, the CheckBox is "Visible = False" on open and becomes "Visible = True" only when the tab order places the focus in the field preceeding it (_GotFocus). After entering data for this preceeding Field the cursor then moves to the now visible CheckBox control where I can set its state (I find toggling the SpaceBar the most convinient for this).

When the CheckBox's Boolean Field is set to "True", the ShortText Field is made "'" via VBA. Where "False", it's returned to Null.
Finally, as the CheckBox control loses focus, it becomes "Visible=False".

This makes the paultry,  default CheckBox  control display only briefly, but, in the Wingding's Field, a Green chequemark permanently displays for those items so marked or is blank for all other records.

No tiny CheckBox control is seen at all and rows marked with the Green chequemark tend to stand out more prominently.

Note on my message:
The Windings chequemark character [chr(252)] displays in most other fonts as a "u" topped with the German umlaut.
