Before you discard Ed's Style=1 suggestion, also take a look at the Picture and DownPicture properties. I think you should try these out; with the right pictures, it might just be what you are looking for.

>I tried that Style=1 for the check box, and I didn't like it all that much, so I won't even be offering it to the user. I'll go with building a custom class if I have to (if he doesn't like clicking on the caption, which I don't see why he should care one way or the other, but you never know!)

>>>Hi all ... quick question about how to alter the actual box size of a checkbox. If I simply change the font size, it only affects the caption's size, but the box to be checked remains the same size. My user has requested a larger box because he has trouble clicking at higher resolutions because he says the box it too tiny.

>>Firstly, offer your client to use checkbox with Style=1.
>>If it's not accepted, you may build your own 'checkbox'- actually, textbox with appropriate FontName/Size and Widht/Height. Its Click event will have:
>>

>>if empty(this.value)
>> this.value="X"
>>else
>> this.value=""
>>endif
>>

>>For better outlook, you may overlap this textbox with transparent Shape and move code to Shape.click event
