    Can I make the check box on a form (corresponding to a yes/no field) a bit larger


    I have created a tabular form "F_ChosenTable" which has as its record source table "ChosenTable" . One of the fields in this table is "Checked" which is Boolean (yes/no)

    I am trying so far unsuccessfully to get the checkbox on the form to appear bigger. When I go into the design mode I can get the orange border of the control associated with "Checked" to expand. I can do this either by changing its dimensions with the mouse of by directly changing the height and width properties. But whatever I do, when I switch to Form View the check box always appears the same small size. I just think it would be a bit easier for the user if the check box were a bit bigger.

    Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately, intrinsic checkboxes and radio buttons cannot be size adjusted.

    That's not what I wanted to hear but thanks for responding. At least I won't waste any more time barking up that tree.
