SYMPTOMS

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

In VGA resolution (640 X 480) raised check boxes and option buttons are indistinguishable from sunken check boxes and option buttons on both forms and reports.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

MORE INFORMATION

You can specify three different appearances for controls on your forms and reports: Normal, Raised, and Sunken. Check box controls and option button controls allow you to specify these different appearances, but raised and sunken are displayed identically.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior

  1. Create a blank unbound form in VGA resolution.

  2. In Design view, add three check box controls to the form.

  3. Add three option button controls to the form.

  4. Choose the Palette button and make one of the check boxes and one of the option buttons sunken. Leave one of each normal. Make one of each raised.

  5. Switch to Form view. Compare the raised controls to the sunken controls. Note that the raised check boxes and option buttons are indistinguishable from sunken check boxes and option buttons.
