Matt,

Here is a simple example


Set newButton = Me.Controls.Add("Forms.Checkbox.1")
newButton.Caption = "Another Checkbox"

With newButton
.Left = 100
.Top = 50
.Visible = True
End With

End Sub

In my form's initialise event I'm trying to programmatically add a
checkbox,
which I wouldn't have thought was too hard, but I just can't get it to
work.
Admittedly I'm using trial and error but it's just not happening.
Anyone able to put me out of my misery please?
Thanks
matt
