Hi,

I am filling up PDF forms from Vba in Microsoft Access. Everything goes fine, except that I am unable to check checkboxes from my code.

My code is pretty simple, something like that :

Set field = jso.getField("checkboxfieldname")

field.Value = True

I tried everything I could think of: 1, "1", "On, "on", True, "checked", etc. Nothing seems to work.

I looked at the SDK: nothing on how to check checkboxes from vba in the documentation, nothing in examples either...

I'm sure the answer is simple 🙂

Thanks for your help,

Patrick

What is the export value of the check box?

What do you mean by "export value"?

You will get this value from field.value when the box is checked.
