Are you wanting to use a HTML checkbox or alternate an image of a checked box and an unchecked box? Let me know.<br><br>Also, what is your BIRT version and can you explain a little more? Is it one checkbox? Or a checkbox per row?

<p>Thanks michael, for the quick response.</p>
<p>I wan t to use checkbox as an html checkbox. in my database a filed has values as ("Y" or "N"). based on the value of this field i want to make it as checked (if the value is "Y") or unchecked (if the value is "N") . I have created a dataset in which i am getting the value of that database field.</p>
<p>but how can I compare the value of that dataset column in html and make checkbox checked or unchecked? is there a way to do this?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There are two checkbox one for yes and one for no and at a time one can be checked based on the value ("Y" or "N").</p>

In a text box with HTML selected from the drop down, you can build html check boxes and pull data from the report using the <value-of> tag. Let me know if you have more questions on how to do this or if you need an example.

<p>yes , iam able to create it with this approach ,</p>
<p>however while previewing i am able to see checkboxes working but on generating report as pdf checkboxes disappear.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>is there any way to achieve this??</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks,</p>

You'll have to use images for pdf. Have one with yes selected and one with no selected and swap them out based on your data.
