Cannot get check box default to work!!!!

[Erin]

I have put -1, True, Yes, 1, and all those variations with "" around them in
my default value, and I CANNOT GET THE CHECK BOX TO DEFAULT TO CHECKED.

I am confused.... why won't this work??

Thanks for the help!!

Use -1 without quotes.

Is the check box bound to a field in the form's recordsource, or is it
unbound? If it is bound, are you looking at the check box while viewing an
existing record, or on the new (blank) record? The default value will only
apply to a new record.

If it's bound, and you're looking at it on a new record, and the default
value seems not to be applied, check the recordsource to see if it forces a
value for that field.

Where did you set the default value, in the table or the form?

A default value in the form will override the default value in the
table.
