Is there a way to make InfoPath 2003 checkbox borders flat as in not raised?
Thanks,

Try playing around in the Borders and Shading dialog. I believe that "None"
will give you the effect - or maybe it's 1px solid border.

Brian,
Thanks for the reply.
I don't think I was clear. Modifying the border and/or shading does not
appear to change whether or not the checkbox border is raised or not. It does
control if there is a border/frame around the checkbox control. Any way you
go, when you print, the checkbox will have a raised/etched appearance.
I'm thinking that what I need to do is add a print view and change the
checkbox into an expression box. Then I need a formula that will translate a
boolean true into an "X" and a false into "".
The bottom line is this. Our old form placed an X in the checkbox if an item
was need. I have to duplicate this in InfoPath.
I'm new to .Net, XML, InfoPath - all of the new stuff - so please bear with
me! I need to find some "good" books or online classes that will cover this
kind of details...

Brian, Thanks for taking time to reply.
I'm not talking about a border around the checkbox. I'm talking about the
fact that when you print the form, the checkbox itself has a
raised / etched appearance.
I think what I need to do is create a print view (easy) and change the
checkbox into an expression box (easy) and then find a formula to
convert True into "X" and false into "" (I have no idea how to do this).
What I'm trying to do, is convert an old form tool into InfoPath. The
checkboxes were flat and had an X for required/true or a blank for
not required/false.
I'm new to .net, InfoPath, XPath, XML so I'm kinda floundering right now. I
need some suggestions for some "good" books or tutorials I can
buy...
Again... Thanks
