[AccessD] Control within a Control

David,
Beyond Lambert's suggestion I think the only solution would be to use an
active X control from a third party. There are some out there that can
present data in various formats and may be able to do what you need.

I haven't used this but it looks as if the List Component of Solutions::PIM
Professional will do this. Here's a web link:

A combo box is so-called because it is a combination of a textbox and a
list. It is designed to accept textual input and nothing else. 

It might be possible to *display* a checkbox value by converting the
true/false values to particular characters. For instance the Unicode Arial
font has a square root symbol that could be used as a checkmark, and the
same font has a 'white square' character that could represent an unchecked
checkbox.
