>>I Bill I can get the report to show the wingding character for 252 (CHR(252), but the 'checkmark' character in my character map shows the keystrokes to be ALT 0252. So how do I incorporate the entry of the ALT in the IIF expression?

Well if I left the code IIF(myLogicalField, CHR(252), "")

what prints out on the report is an arrow that points to the right, and not a check mark. When I looked at the chracter map, provided by windows, it showed the check mark to be not just ASCI 252, but ALT+252.
