How can I use both check box and button for my purpose?

Hi all,

In my student database I have a checkbox field which identifies students with a disability. I have added a button next to the checkbox which users can click to take them to another layout which provides extensive info. re: the disability.

Question:

From a design perspective, it looks confusing (and ugly) having both a checkbox and then a button next to it.

What options do I have in making this design more user-friendly? Is there an option where the checkbox and button are one and the same?

Put a square over the checkbox, Make it transparent and make the lines transparent or 0 width. Make this a button which calls your script. Modify the script so that it sets the check box on if it is off or off it is on. You may want to make the rest of your script only run when the checkbox is turned on.

Why bother with an extra square? Simply make the checkbox field a button.

Why bother with an extra square? Simply make the checkbox field a button.

This would be the ideal option.

But how do I do this?

In Layout mode, just click on it, and then select 'Button Setup...' from the 'Format' menu....
