Chip, thanks for your reply.

The boolean values are displayed without any special setting - it’s just a 
boolean field and 4D does the rest.
- all listbox columns are not enterable
- all columns display in black
- *except* boolean boxes which are greyed out, very faint, and hard to see

Keith,
Since we are the only ones that think the suggested enhancements are desirable, 
I won’t go through the feature request process.

I didn’t know that - I’ll check it out, thanks.
Cheers, Keith

How are you displaying the boolean values?
(not on v15) booleans display (true/on) as a check box very well for me
