Is it possible to select a checkbox on a form using the keys/tab? Or is
using the mouse the only way to do this?
 
I did not make myself very clear. Basically I have a form and am able to tab
from field to field in most cases. This makes for fast data entry. However,
as soon as a check box appears your tab key doesn't work. It is this problem
I am trying to address. Is there any way I can tab onto the checkbox without
having to grab the mouse?

Check to make sure they have their TabStop property set to Yes. I just tested
on a new form and the Tab key works perfectly for both going to and leaving
CheckBoxes.
 
Just another thought here. When you say 'grab the mouse' - doing so on a
checkbox will put a check into it.

If you are asking how to check/uncheck a checkbox, once you tab to the
control, just hit the spacebar. Tabbing again should move you on.
