chkFoo.Caption = "Hi mom!"
* If it's on the form, then it's relative.
* You can use SET STEP ON somewhere to see how to access the object.
* Depending on where you are trapped in your code, it could be something like:
this.parent.Checkbox1.Caption

Can you do something on your table like:

SELECT *, IIF(cMyField="Y", 1, 0) AS nCheckboxField ;
    FROM whatever ;
    INTO CURSOR c_whatever

And then use that cursor instead? I use checkboxes on grids regularly. I typically add code on the InteractiveChange() event to call the ProgrammaticChange() event, which then has a test and sets the backColor:

this.backColor = IIF(this.Value = 1, RGB(0,255,0), RGB(255,0,0))

For visual cues.

>>>You can put a checkbox in a grid and then set it to 3D so it looks like a button (set Style=1 (Graphical)).
