Check box (visible or not) on Continuous Form

    Hi,

    I am loading records from a query to a continuous form in an Access mdb file.

    I would like to make one of the fields (a checkbox) visible or not, based on the value of another field. Therefore, throughout the continuous form, the checkbox will only be visible for certain records.

    Is it possible to do this? and how?

    If not, is there another method or way to produce the same result?

    Thanks

    The only way to do this sort of thing on continuous forms is by using conditional formatting - otherwise each line will have exactly the same appearence, apart from the contents of bound fields.

    You may be able to overlay a text box or label on top of the check box and change its background colour to hide the checkbox
