I've created my first Access Data Base and I'm happy with the results in
Access (2003). One of the reports I've set up uses Multiple YES/NO check
boxes. The data for the boxes is entered through a form and has it's own
field in the table. They show up in the report (both the yes and no values)
as appropriate however, when I use Office Links to publish it with MS Word
(2003) the check boxes are not present. Their column label is present at the
top of the page but the boxes or even their yes/no values are not present. I
can't even get them to show up as true/false if I send the report to MS
Excel. I'm sure there's an easy fix out there but with my recently acquired
Access skills, I can't find it. Would prefer to have it publish to Word
rather than Excel but will settle for Excel until then.
 
Boxes, lines, etc do not transfer to Word. You can either replace your
boxes with a Yes/No values. Or you could do an IF statement to print an "X"
if true and a blank if False. Or you could simply not send it to Word. If
you want an exact picture of the report, Snapshot format or pdf is the way
to go.
