>I have a grid that is a checklist. It has two columns: the thing to be done and the check off. The values for the check column come from a character field in another table consisting of T & F. Each thing to be done has a key, and that key number translates to the position in the character string.

>This worked great for displaying the checklist. The problem came when I tried to un/check something. Having a calculated control source seems to make the checkbox read only. Obviously, it's not going to know how to change the value in the string, so I put code for that in the click event. But if I click on the checkbox, it just beeps and doesn't do the click event.

Checkbox.Click event should fire even if it's read=only.
