>>Sorry for asking this question, but how do I display a checkbox in a grid, when the underlying field is logical.
>>
>>1. make sure that your check box class is available on the form controls toolbar. In the form designer, click on the View Classes toolbar button. (This is the button that looks like a set of books.) Select the Add option and find the appropriate class library in the open files dialog.
>>2. in the drop down list at the top of the property sheet, select the grid column that will hold the check box. After clicking on the check box in the form controls toolbar, click on the grid column into which you want to drop it. If you now look at the controls listed under that column in the property sheet, you will see the checkbox that you just added.
>>3. Select the Text1 control in the column to which you just added the check box in the drop down list at the top of the property sheet
>>4. Click on the title bar of the form designer
>>5. Press the delete key
>>6. Select the column to which you just added the check box in the drop down list at the top of the property sheet and set its sparse property to .F.

Make sure the value of the checkbox is set to .f. and not 0.
