Try selecting myTable1 then replacing. This is a pain, but the "IN myTable1" expression does not always seem to work.
More to the point, however, why don't you just change the value of the checkbox in the grid? This will force a replace in myTable1 without your having to do anything about it.
Lastly, be sure to refresh() the grid so the new value of myTable1 appears.
