Inserting a check off box in a report Crystal 11 5

[csch]

I would like to know how to insert a check off box as part of a report instead of having the "false" and "True" statements.

Thanks

You would have to have to small jpgs of a tick box ticked and another unticked - supress one and show the other based on the boolean flag.

Another option is to use a formula like the following:

if <yourcondition> = true then
chr(254)//for a checkmark, 253 for an x
else chr(168)

Then format the formula to use the wingdings font.

You'll find LB's suggestion more efficient and it takes up less space.

Note also that if you select Start->Run->Charmap you can copy and paste a wide variety of characters into a report.

-k

You can also use chr(111) for an empty box and chr(510) for a box with a check inside of it. the rest applies...you'll have to change the font to wingdings. But this can give you other options.
