Check Boxes

[Guest]

I put a check box on my form and when I pick the Control Source the data in
the field I have choosen disappears when I click on the check box and
dispalys a -1 instead of the original data. What settings do I need to
change so that the information in the field does not change when I mark the
check box?

"-1" is the value for true. "0" is the value for false. If you already
have a checkbox, why do you ALSO have another field for the same data? You
ONLY need the checkbox field (which should be bound to your field). There
is no need to have a checkbox *AND* a textbox that both represent the exact
same field.

I am using the check box to mark violations. Essentially I wanted to be able
to look at the data in one particular field and mark the check box as needed
in relation to that field. (It either is or is not a violation)
