I would like to change inactive, active, special order, to checkbox group. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill Bill, We tried to explain this to you on our reply to your support Trouble Ticket. Sorry if we missed the mark -- I'll try to do a better job of explaining. A group of radio buttons submits only a single value, whereas a group of checkboxes submits a comma-delimited list of multiple values. Therefore the database column into which you must store these multiple values would have to be a string type that is at least long enough to store that list of values. The status of an inventory item is a singular value, not a collection of multiple values (it can only have one status at any given time), so the status can be controlled by either a simple input field, a select menu, or a radio button group -- all of which submit a single value. This is why the Status column is an integer. Nowhere in the tutorial does it tell you to use a group of checkboxes to control the Status column. I'm assuming that you're familiar with how HTML form controls are named and how that determines how their values are submitted. If you want a primer on this then contact me offlist and I'll be happy to work through this with you. Hope this helps.
