Just thought of another thing you could do: You could put the captionless checkbox on a form and put a shape around it...default the shapes Visible property to .F. and set it .T. when the Checkbox receives focus (GotFocus) and set it back to .F. when the checkbox loses focus (LostFocus).



>>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?
