>The checkbox works fine when it is not in the grid column. It must be something with my grid. Records from my table appear in the grid correctly. I have CurrentControl for the column set to the name of my checkbox control. Have sparse set to false. I have the checkbox on transparent background. I have the checkbox caption on (None). I will be looking in the books and see what I might have missed?!?

Steve,
Is column bound ? IOW are you sure column and checkbox are using the same controlsource which is either logical or numeric ? In grids there is a hierarchy between grid.recordsource - column.controlsource and its controls' controlsource. Probably you played with them. You don't need to play with .Value of checkbox at all since would be useless with a databound control.

Oh my. You already solved this when I posted :) Sorry.
