check box outline

[Ken]

I would like to make the check box on a report to just show the check, not
the box is this possable?
I set the Border style to "transparant", that didn't change it.
Then I made the color the same as background and that didn't do it.
I set the special effect to flat and that didn't do it either.
any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance

And what do you wish to show if the box is NOT checked? Nothing?

Add an unbound text control to the report.
Set it's FontStyle to Wingdings.
Let's start with a FontSize of 12 and see if that is too big or too
small. You can adjust it later.

Set the control's Control Source to:
=IIf([CheckField] = -1, chr(252),"")

The above will show a check without it's box.
Nothing will display if the check field is unchecked.
