Checkbox problem

[Steven]

I have a form that is a continuous form when I put a unbound checkbox on it
the checkbox shows up with many little dots in it and will not accept a mouse
click. What might be causing this? I have other text box fields that are
unbound and they work fine.

Thank you,

Steven

An unbound checkbox in a continuous form is pretty meaningless - in
this case its value is NULL since it isn't bound to any table field,
and you'll see it the same in every row of the continuous form.

What is the purpose of the checkbox? What use will you make of it
(since its value is not associated with any record in any table)?
