Hi,

Does anyone know how I can dynamicly create a list of checkboxes in access 97? I need to allow users to select several of many choices. I don't want to use a list box with multi select permitted because they will have a hard time using it (shift + click is not a simple task). Any suggestions?

Thanks
Wiszh
 
If you use the ActiveX control "Microsoft Form 2.0 Listbox" you have the best of both worlds. You have a listbox with checkboxes inside, and the users don't have to shift+click to select multiple items. Note they don't have to shift-click with the standard listbox either. It depends on the value you choose for the Multi Select property (simple or extended) of the list box
 
Thanks,

How do I get the control to actualy do something, when I try to access the custom properties page I get an error about reinstalling the OLE server. Any ideas?
