    Field from Table in a form, changed from a text box into a dropdown

    I have fields in a form, they are set as Yes/No, but when I add them into my form they are text boxes which CAN be edited (that's good, I want that) but only in a text box format, which looks quite ugly, is there way of having them as dropdowns?

    Many thanks,

    in form design,
    click the ADD EXIXSTING FIELDS button
    in the controls, select the checkbox control
    grab a field, drag it onto the form....it will be a checkbox bound to your field.
