I have a vb mailmerge application in progress and all is working as I
expect until I try and display the checkbox (with or without a tick)

Googling has all info for doing this in the template, but I create the
template the fly through VB6.

The data source is and Access database with the field data type set to
Yes/no and the lookup as checkbox.

I have tried unsuccessfully the line of code below.

wrdMergeFields.AddIf Range:=Selection.Range, mergefield:="local_email",
Comparison:=wdMergeIfEqual, CompareTo:=0, TrueAutoText:="",
TrueText:=Chr(168), FalseAutoText:="", FalseText:=Chr(254)

In fact I cant seem to change the font for this at at all.

Any help would be appreciated. The chr(168) is for wingdings font.
