How do I print the check mark in a check box?

[BethMc]

My report prints based on a form posted for users to fill out. One of the
four Yes/No check boxes in it prints the check if marked - the other three
show a gray square in the box whether checked or not. I can't find any
difference in the control properties of the boxes. Help? Thanks in advance!

That it is grayed-out is the tip-off. That means that the check box(s)
is/are not bound to record source field(s). So either you forgot to bind
it/them to table value(s) if that was your intent. If, on the other hand,
your intent was to just print the checkbox empty or checked regardless of
data (you might want an empty checkbox on the paper so that the user would
have a place to make a mark) then you have to initialize it. Do this via
each check box's prperty page:

In properties page, in the Control Source property put
=0 if you want an empty checkbox
=-1 if you want a check to be printed

Each check box is Sourced to a field in my records table. (All four of them
are gray now, by the way - the one [occuring first in the report] that showed
a check first time it was used, now is as dead as the rest.) In the table,
in the associated Yes/No field, the box prints just fine, with check or
without it according to how the form is filled out. It's just on the printed
Report that the boxes are grayed out. Any further clues here?
I really appreciate the help! -- BethMc
