Default Access 2007 tabular layout - checkbox alignment - 07-08-2009 , 08:19 AM






When selecting a bunch of controls and then selecting tabular layout
each checkbox control is aligned left. I would like the check boxes to
be aligned in the centre of their corresponding labels. Is this
possible without removing the checkbox from the tabular group?

Default Work Around - 09-18-2010 , 01:48 AM






I know this is an old post, but this might help someone.

I have never found a way to centre align a check-box in ms access when used in a tabular layout.

However, there are work arounds. If you desperately want to have the check-box in tabular layout then the only way to do this is a as follows.

Create a button and add this button to the left of the check-box so it is also in tabular layout.

Remove any caption on the button. This will add space to the left of the check-box. You can then resize the button to make the check-box centred between itself and the new button.

If you have borders on your control labels you will have to remove the borders on the check-box label and the new button label by setting the border style to transparent.

Then create a new label, with a border if you wish, which spans over the button and the check-box which you can name to the original caption of your check-box's label.

I hope that makes sense, good luck.
