Thanks Bob, but I probably need to be clearer. I currently create the check
box (actually many of them) in a macro. At creation time, I define the
OnAction ( .OnAction = "blah" ). This allows me a generic routine for all
checkboxes. Then, in the code, I figure out which checkbox (type) has been
clicked to decide the appropriate action. With your suggestion, unless I am
missing something (which is probably the case!) I am assigning a specific
click action for a specific checkbox. I was hoping to use a global click
action for all checkboxes, and use the OnAction method for defining it (for
the OLEObjects-type checkbox). Alternatively (an simpler for me, regarding
lots of code changes), I was hoping to define the mousepointer property for a
shapes-type checkbox.

I hope that is clearer...

With OLEObjects, there are associated events. If you go to design mode, the
blue-green triangle on the control toolbox, you can then double-click the
object, and that will take you to the sheet code window, with a click event
for that object outlined for you.

My program currently uses a forms-type check box (a shape as opposed to an
OLE object, I think). I use this type because it was more convenient to use
