Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Checkbox property in report

    I've been trying to setup a checkbox with a checkmark style, but it only displays a box with an X. Is this a bug?

    A quick search of the msg board found this, which looks helpful. Though quick testing here proved more difficult than I had hoped. Will wait to see if others have better ideas for you.

        I used Wingdings2 size 18 for the font on my report and used the symbol in the calculated fields which looks like an English pound sign from the ASCII Character map - but it prints as an "X" inside a box.

          Perhaps an easier idea would be to use a conditional object with two layers. One would be blank when false.. The other would have an image of a checkmark when true.

            Hi Tom,
            That would be easier if only a few checkboxes are needed, but there was no room for conditional objects with that many check boxes. It was fairly easy to create the first calculated field and then copy the calc and edit it because I used sequential numbers in the field names. The same was true for adding the first box to the form - I just copied the object and edited the number part.

              Robin, that's right, but did you wind up with x's or checkmarks?

                Robin,

                Conditional Objects need not take up much room in your design.

                Here's an example screencast.

                  Hi Tom, I'm trying to setup the conditional but I only get a 2 pixels white square and not the checkmark.
                  Thank you for the video.

                    The bitmap object has several display options. I chose "best fit". Can't say that will help, but you might try.

                    And... the bitmap object should fit inside the CO, of course.

                      Yes, that's it, thanks. Now the problem is the report is not rendering correctly the png icon, then transparency is not being respected, it adds a white background.
                      Thank you Tom.
