Joseph31 Posted May 4, 2004 Share Posted May 4, 2004 I have a very simple question.....I think...but yet I still do not know...So I guess its not so simple... I need to make a check box have a value...meaning when it is checked the value in that field would then be "1" or "0"...But not seen all you see is the check box... All I can get is a checkbox to be checked or not checked...but with no value? Can anyone help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldfogey Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I do this all the time. Create your checkbox on your layout and re-size it to hide the values. Unless you have only one value, you need to use the vertical orientation. Where I find this useful is to provide users with meaningful choices, such as 'Good', 'Better', 'Best', 'Rotten', 'MS', while behind the scene, I'm using simple one-letter codes - 'G', 'B', etc. Sometimes it is also handy to remove field borders, leaving you with just a box.

Oldfogey Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 You use Field Format to specify 'Check Box' and a corresponding Value List, which consists of '0' and '1'. See the attachment. (I hope!) ChkBoxes.ZIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
