Check Box Default

Jack Buick

Talk about a basic question, but this is making me nuts.
I have a form with several check boxes ... they are all set to default
to "unchecked." The db also defaults to unchecked. But, as soon as we
hit the "form1.recordset.addnew" all of the cb's change themselves to
"checked." ???
Thanks in advance
Jack

Are you talking about a HTML form?

If so, what is the *value* of the checkbox, since that's what you're saving
to the database.

Cheers

Just to clarify what I mean here:

In HTML, a checkbox is "checked" when the checked attribute is added, eg:

<input type="checkbox" name="chkMyCheckBox" value=1" checked>

However, when the form is posted, only the *value* is sent to the server,
not the checked attribute. So the value (in this case "1") is being
persisted to the database, which may alter the state of the field in the
database.

Cheers

Sorry ... I should have been more specific. It is a standard no-frills
VB6 form. The db is an .mdb. The value of the check boxes in both
cases is 'false.'
