Displaying a "tick" in my list box results

Hi experts,

One of my fields in my table is a tick box. I would like to display a tick for that record in my list box (when the field is ticked).   At the moment, when I run the SQL for that list box there is a tick, but when I run my form the list box displays "-1" for that field when there is a tick in the box.

Is this possible and if so, can anybody assist?

Thank you in advance

If the field that you want to display as a tick box is of type Yes/No on your database table and you insert it on the Query that is bound to your form, than, when you insert this field on your form, it should display as a "tick box" type.

Thanks for your post jppinto,

The field in the table is called "Done"

This field has a type of yes/no.

The field "Done" I would like to appear in the list box as a tick and not a -1 or 0.  So for example:

lstExample
Field 1    Field 2    Done
Text 1     Text 2     "Tick symbol"
Text 8     Text 4     "No tick symbol"
etc.

Hope this helps to clarify what my problem is.

Thank you in advance,
Terry
