In addition to what Tracy said you can set the behavior of the checkbox via it's initial Value in the property sheet;

If Checkbox.Value=0 it will return 0/1 && Default setting
If Checkbox.Value=.F. it will return T/F

>Hi all,

>I don’t use checkboxes often but I have a need to for an entry form. A person is going to visit a house and determine if there is a dog there. If no one is home there are a set of check-offs to go through. Depending on what gets checked other checkboxes become enabled.

>My problem; last night the value the boxes returned was logical. I coded for that. This morning I ran the form again and the checkboxes are returning a numeric. The initial value of the checkboxes has been 0 all along. What am I doing wrong?
