I just tried this in 7.6 here. I created a form with a DB checkbox based on a text column. My checked is T, my unchecked is F. Unchecked is the default value. If I do an "enter using test", the checkbox is unchecked. If I save the row, it is saved with an "F" in there. Is that what you're trying to do? But if I do an "edit using test" with other rows of data that have other data in the checkbox column rather than T or F, the box is checked but it is greyed out, meaning RBase is confused because the data is neither T or F.
You say you use it in a "data entry form". Do you mean you're actually doing "enter using formname"? Cuz that seems to work for me. What build are you using? I'm not using the brand new one from today. Karen > To clarify my original posting, I am trying to use check boxes in a data > entry form. There are no variables associated with the check boxes.
