Enlarge a check box

[newtoAccess]

I am having a hard time getting a check box bigger.

Is there a trick?

I selected a check box from the ribbon bar and got one size.

you can drag and drop it from the corner in design view

drag and drop only resize the control's transparent part, the visible part of the checkbox doesn't get bigger.

That was my problem. I am using a large text size for easy reading and the check box is so small compared to the rest of the document.

There are some suggestions from internet that use a textbox with "X" inside to replace the check box.

Can you supply the link?

[weekend00]

you can search for "Access enlarge checkbox" from google.

Now that I have a Nice check box that will change back and forth between on and off.

How and where do I get it to set my field "Do_Not_Print" on and off?
I used to use a check box that worked fine but the box was to small.

This looks better than the automatic check box.


-------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub CheckBox1_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Call SetCheckBx(Me.CheckBox1, Button)
End Sub
----------------------------------------------------------------
Public Function SetCheckBx(Ctrl As Control, Btn As Integer, Optional Char As String)
If Char = "" Then Char = "ü"
If Btn = 1 Then
If Nz(Ctrl, "") = "" Then Ctrl = Char Else Ctrl = ""
End If
End Function

Thanks for the sample. It works great. I have learned a lot from it..
Now, how do I get it to set Yes/No in the table?
