Access 2003 Checkbox Triple State
The Checkbox does not appear greyed out when the value is Null (it looks
exactly the same as for the value of 0). I have a checkbox on a form that is bound to an integer field. I have set the Triple State property of the Checkbox to Yes. Clicking the Checkbox cycles through the values -1, 0 & Null and the correct values are stored in the database. Thanks in advance. Mike

Does the underlying field (in the table), or the control on the form have a default value set? Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Office/Access MVP "Mike Sorel" wrote in message ...

Access 2003 Checkbox Triple State
Hi Jeff,
I have tried it with and without a default value, there is no difference in this behaviour with or without. At the moment I have no default on the control and no default on the field.

Access 2003 Checkbox Triple State
Since it actually works correctly, this has to be a display issue.
Try turning off the option for Themed controls. From memory, it's under: Tools | Options | Form/Reports -- Allen Browne - Microsoft MVP.

Access 2003 Checkbox Triple State
Thanks Jeff,
That is the answer. It also answers why some of the other control properties (border styles, etc) were behaving strangely.
