Hi there

I'm working in Visual Basic 6. I've created a database in Access 2000, that I connect to via ADO.

One of the fields in each record is a Boolean on which the user is suppose to click "Yes/No" - exactly like a checkbox.

I display the entire table from the database in a grid (for ex. MSFlexgrid etc). Is there a way to make that specific column appear like a checkbox, instead of a "0" or "-1"? Of course the value would be read as "0" or "-1" depending on whether or not the field has been ticked of. The problem is that the normal user would not know what "-1" means.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

that will not be possible.  

Does that mean that Microsoft missed that functionality when they designed VB6?

That's something that should be a pretty basic feature. How would you do that if you had to?

Hi
That is extremely possible, and depends mostly on the grid that you are using.
The datagrid in .NET supports check boxes using column styles.
Google for "MSFlexgrid checkbox" came up with a lot of solutions, are they any help?
