In layout mode, make sure you have the line size set to 1 point or more and are using a pen color that will show up on your layout and that the screen choice is set to the black box over the clear box (second from the left selection) in the middle drop down box between the pen color and line width. All these are choices in the bottom left pop-up menu in layout mode. Be sure you have the field selected when you make the changes. I think that should work to fix the problem for you.

Hi

I have a field that is defined to use a value list that I want to use the check box format. I defined this in the layout mode, but the check boxes only show up briefly when clicking in the blank are where they should be. I'm using Filemaker 8 advanced. Does anyone have a clue what may be happening? Actually, I just tried the same thing in 2 older versions of Filemaker with the same results, so it must be something I'm doing very WRONG. Help Please!!

Thanks
