Hello, everyone,
I have yet another dumb question: I'm trying to change a Text Box into a Check Box but the option check box is grayed out. What can I do? Thank you for your help! -- igor

This is true, but it misses the point. Access seems to offer a capability for changing controls from one type to another, but it doesn't work in this case. You can go back to your table and make sure your field is a Y/N type but it won't matter. You can make the textbox unbound by deleting the reference to the source field, then try converting the unbound text box into a check box, but it won't work. You can try changing the text box into some other type, and then try changing from that into a check box, to no avail. There is no obvious reason why this conversion could not be done, but for some reason (presumably a good one), Access will not do it.
