Defining a Checkbox Value :)

I have a very simple question.....I think...but yet I still do not know...So I guess its not so simple... wink.gif

I need to make a check box have a value...meaning when it is checked the value in that field would then be "1" or "0"...But not seen all you see is the check box...

All I can get is a checkbox to be checked or not checked...but with no value?

Can anyone help...

I do this all the time. Create your checkbox on your layout and re-size it to hide the values. Unless you have only one value, you need to use the vertical orientation. Where I find this useful is to provide users with meaningful choices, such as 'Good', 'Better', 'Best', 'Rotten', 'MS', while behind the scene, I'm using simple one-letter codes - 'G', 'B', etc.

Sometimes it is also handy to remove field borders, leaving you with just a box.

ok But how do I assign a value to the check box ....so when it is check it really is saying 1 behind the scene.... smile.gif

You use Field Format to specify 'Check Box' and a corresponding Value List, which consists of '0' and '1'.

See the attachment. (I hope!)
