A check box control is a box displayed on the data entry form that permits a user to make multiple selections of a number of options. If an option is enabled (checked), then one data source is printed on the item. If an option is blank (unchecked), then a different data source is printed.
The Check Box Control Properties dialog allows you to configure the properties of a check box control on the data entry form. It can be accessed using one of the following methods:
-
In the template design area, open the Properties dialog for the object whose data will be entered at print-time. Select the desired data source. On the open property page, select the Transform tab. Select the 
icon next to Data Entry Control. In the Data Entry dialog, select or create a check box control. Click Properties to open the Check Box Control Properties dialog.
-
When designing the Data Entry Form, select the desired check box. Double-click on the check box to open the Check Box Control Properties dialog. Alternatively, you can open the context menu and select Properties.
Check Box Property Page
The Check Box property page allows you to define the label, dimensions, and alignment of the check box. You can also define the text that will be printed when the box is checked, and when it is unchecked.
