oh...that might be an idea. I'll try that thanks. I hope it works though, because otherwise this will be a tough nut to crack.
Dennis, do you consider this to be a bug? I read through the archives, and I noticed that someone else had a similar problem, except with him it was using ints, which weren't being marshalled when the value was '0'. One of his workarounds was to change the default to '-9999' but that caused some other headaches. With a boolean, even that workaround is off limits, since there are only 2 possible values :(.
