Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
I am current experiencing problems with the checkboxes on my forms. If
unchecked, clicking will set the checkbox. If already checked, clicking will have no effect. Setting a checkbox that is already checked to false still shows true (via vba). The forms are bound to a SQL Server back end database. Almost all of the checkboxes have no code attached to them. The remaining checkboxes just tab to another field after update. I have decompiled and recompiled. Tabbing to the checkbox and hitting the spacebar works but not clicking with the mouse. The problems began after Office Service Pack 3 was installed. I have many versions of the database that were created before the Service Pack and none of them have working checkboxes now (they worked before the Service Pack). An additional problem occurred with a listbox that had 13 columns. The form would not display, I could not compile. I could not save until I reduced the number of columns and save the database. Any help on the checkboxes would be greatly appreciated. ~Gardner |

Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
I fogot to mention, that I am running Access 2003 The application does not
work as and ADP or an ADE file. I execute routines in the MouseHook.dll at startup. Removing the routines seems to have no effect. Thanks. ~Gardner "Gardner" wrote: I am current experiencing problems with the checkboxes on my forms. If unchecked, clicking will set the checkbox. If already checked, clicking will have no effect.

Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
It's a bug that has been introduced by 2003 SP3. MS is aware of it.

Thanks Ken.
Are they also aware of the problem with the listbox as well? ~Gardner "Ken Snell (MVP)" wrote: It's a bug that has been introduced by 2003 SP3.

Does Microsoft have a plan to release a patch to fix this, or is there a workaround available (other than using the space bar)? Thanks, Bradley |

No link to a KB article has been released yet. I'm told that MS is very
close to publishing a KB article and "fix" for this issue. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "Bradley" wrote in message ups.com...

Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
Ken, is this the same problem that I see now only 0 and -1 in my
listbox/comboboxes? The ony strange thing is that I saw this before in SP2, I did something in the table design and the problem was solved, but now I really don't know anymore what I did, because nothing helps. When this is the same bug then I'm 'happy' Thanks in advance. Arjan "Ken Snell (MVP)" wrote in message ... No link to a KB article has been released yet.

Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
The bug noted by the other poster is related to using SQL Server as the
backend for the database. I'm not aware that this bug is manifested in the displays in comboboxes or listboxes. 0 is the actual value of False (or No or Off) in ACCESS; -1 is the actual value of True (or Yes or On). You can change the Format property of the combobox to Yes/No, True/False, or On/Off so that it will show the name instead of the value. This may trigger a separate bug, related to the use of a Format property for a field that is in a RowSource query of a combobox or listbox, that SP3 introduced, though. This separate bug causes a blank display for the combobox or listbox. MS also is working on that bug. -- Ken Snell MS ACCESS MVP "A. van Huizen" wrote in message news:HxrNi.4161$Hv4.1208@amstwist00...

Problem with checkboxes after Service Pack 3
Thanks for your fast reply.
Normally I saw in the listbox 'Yes' and 'No', now I see -1 and 0. I didn't change something and this db works already since 1 year for a client. And I see it in every front-end on existing databases since this week. So I think that it is related to SP3 too. The format of the Yes/No field in the table is set to Yes/No or True/False. When I change this, it still doesn't matter. Also when I make the prefered format in the table design empty. When I make a simple new database with one table, one field and I display this in a listbox on a form I see only 0 and -1. It looks like a bug, because I'm not aware that I can change this format somewhere besides in the table design. I hope that you can reproduce the same as I see. Thanks in advance. Arjan.
