Hi Matthew ---
Check boxes *are* a pain in that respect. The focus is a dashed box around the caption. If you need a visual focus reference, you need to use the caption. The actual box part of the control never changes.
>I have a form that has combo boxes and check boxes on it. The tab order is set to go through all of the combos and then the check boxes. As I tab through all of the combos I can tell which object I am in. When I get to the check boxes it does not put a border around the check box, so I can not tell which one I am in. The check boxes have a control source set to a field in a table that is a type of logical. Also there is no caption for any of the check boxes. Any suggestions?
