I want to use a check box on a form which will display a number when I run a
report from the table the form is linked to

What sort of number do you want it to display? A checkbox is a Boolean
control, so getting -1 or 0 to display is fairly easy. Is this what you want
or are you wanting a count of true records? If the latter, try using
DCount() and make the report textbox a calculated control.

You haven't given a heck of a lot to go on here, so maybe this will
help:

=IIf(forms!FormName!CheckBoxName = -1,A number value,"")

and then, maybe not!
