Yes/No field property reference

When you use Design View to add a Yes/No field to a table, you can set and change a number of properties for the field. This table shows the Yes/No field properties, describes what each one does, and explains the implications of setting or changing them.

Property

Use

Caption

The label text that is displayed for this field by default in forms, reports, and queries. If this property is empty, the name of the field is used. Any text string is allowed.

An effective caption is usually brief.

Default Value

Automatically assigns the specified value to this field when a new record is added.

Format

Determines the way that the field appears when it is displayed or printed in datasheets, or in forms or reports that are bound to the field. Select one of the following:

  • True/False   Displays the value as either True or False.

  • Yes/No   Displays the value as either Yes or No.

  • On/Off   Displays the value as either On or Off.

Indexed

Specifies whether the field has an index. There are three available values:

  • Yes (No duplicates)   Creates a unique index on the field.

  • Yes (Duplicates OK)   Creates a non-unique index on the field.

  • No   Removes any index on the field.

Note: Do not change this property for a field that is used in a primary key.

Although you can create an index on a single field by setting the Indexed field property, some kinds of indexes cannot be created in this manner. For example, you cannot create a multi-field index by setting this property.

Text Align

Specifies the default alignment of text within a control.

Validation Rule

Supplies an expression that must be true whenever you add or change the value in this field. Use in conjunction with the Validation Text property.

Validation Text

Enter a message to display when a value that is entered violates the expression in the Validation Rule property.

A single checkbox would give you true/false.
You could use instead dropdown content controls with the two options.

To be honest, I am looking for a very simple solution to add the boxes to a word document for printing purposes only. For an example, Yes No and the boxes empty beneath for someone to check off with a pen. Thank you!

  • Question

    What should I do if the check box is grayed out in my ribbon?

    Community Answer

    It is grayed out for me too. However, if you click on the one icon that isn’t — Legacy Tools — then you will find the exact same checkbox, which you should be able to select.

  • Question

    How can I enlarge the size of a text box without enlarging the text?

    Community Answer

    In Word, just dragging the corner of the text box should be sufficient. If the text changes size accidentally, you can always highlight it and change it back to the desired size.

  • Question

    How do you make a drop box in word?

    Community Answer

    Download LibreOffice. Follow the manual on how to add a list or list/add or list/multiselect box (or just look under «insert» in the menu). You can add a data source for the dropdown menu items from a database, a spreadsheet or within the file structure itself.

If all descriptions are checked “Yes”, so you know that the plan has got done perfectly. Otherwise, the “No” checklists, it is time to make immediate action to prepare the unavailable.

In using the checklist, you can take time checking each item yourself. Alternatively, you are able to invite people who help you plan the party, for example friends, and ask them about the completeness of each duty you deliver to each of them.  Instead of printing the form in several copies and get your friends giving the check personally, it is better to ask them verbally and they will give the answers with the same way.

If you have time to make the checklist yourself, this job does not require much effort to do. You can use MS Word based template. Simply create a table consisting of four columns, titled with Number, Description, Yes and No. It surely depends on what kind of event you are intended to prepare.

You are also allowed making some modification to get the template suiting to your needs. You can add the columns, change the title or modify the description. Just be creative. Ask your friends to help checking if everything has been listed completely, so you won’t miss anything. Change the title of Yes No Checklist with Birthday Checklist or others, depending on the occasion.

I have setup a very, very basic vbscript to print several word documents.

The script is as follows — (I have left out most of the documents, as the lines are all the same, with only the dicument name being different)

Set objWord = CreateObject(«Word.Application»)
objWord.Visible = True
Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add()

objWord.PrintOut ,,,,,,,,,,,,»C:IT Ops Daily Check Sheet.doc»
objWord.PrintOut ,,,,,,,,,,,,»C:DCS Overnight And Midday Poll.doc»

objWord.Quit

An MS Word Window is opened, but I get a popup message for each document as follows —

«The Margins of section 1 are outside the printable area of the page. Do you want to continue? Yes / No»

Replying yes to each popup message will allow the documents to print, but is there any way of programatically preventing this popup box from appearing (other than changing the margins, of course)

Also once the vbscript has finished, the MS Word window stays open. Is objWord.Quit the write function? How can I get the MS Word window to close from the script.

Thanks for any help, in advance.
