The following code is contained in a method of a COM dll designed to service an ASP web page and fails to save the new value of RTA.approved.
Uploadstatus is the name of a checkbox whose value is "True".

select RTA
scatter name loProject memo

* . . . change some values of loProject
	
if alltrim(loRequest.form("uploadstatus").item()) = "True"
  loProject.approved = .t.
else
  loProject.approved = .f.	
endif	

gather name loProject memo

However the following seems to work OK.

select RTA
scatter name loProject memo

* . . . change some values of loProject
	
if alltrim(loRequest.form("uploadstatus").item()) = "True"
  replace RTA.approved with .t.
else
  replace RTA.approved with .f.	
endif	

gather name loProject memo

Can someone explain why the first doesn't work?
