I set up in TABLES the fields. I have a GIFT? field that I made yes/no
(because I want it to be a checkbox). When I create a form in FORMS the line
item GIFT? is a TEXT BOX. How do I change it to a CHECKBOX? I right click
on it and choose CONVERT TO, but it doesn't give me the CHECKBOX option (it's
grayed out).

Thanks.

Click to expand...

Just delete it and add a checkbox from the toolbox.

Delete the control on your form. Then view the field list and the tool box.
Click the check box control and the click and drag your field onto your
form.
 
Just create a new field

remove the text box from the form, from the tool box, toolbar select a check
box, put it on the form, and then using the properties of the checkbox bound
it to the field in the table.

If you need any help with any of this stages,just give a call.
