Karen - Over the weekend I'll do a test similar to what you did and see what happens.\

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. The default state would be blank or null. When a person registers for the meeting, he/she specifies the sessions he/she will attend. A check would be entered into the boxes for the appropriate session so the column data would be 1 (or it could be Y). The idea is to get an accurate count of the number of people in each session so the presenter will know the size of the audience and so we will have the right size room for each session. If all the boxes are checked when the entry form opens, and if the registrar doesn't uncheck the ones which the registrant did not select, then all of the columns and counts will be wrong when the row is saved. I got this to work right before I applied the latest update, but it doesn't work right now.
