A lot of this has to do with how you set the initial value of the check box. Personally, I use either .T. or .F. and never 1 or 0.

It also depends on what type of input is being done. If this is "heads down" input, that is what a lot of my work is with, I'd suggest that you get with your users and try to find out what is the most convenient way of making their entries.

For example, if the majority of input for a logical variable is to be false and you have SET CONFIRM ON, you may want to set the initial value to true. This way, the user simply has to hit the enter key to get the appropriate value,
