    Check boxes are showing blue.


    I have a form with several check boxes, some are blank others are blue. This changes from record to record. What is happening? I checked the table and the check boxes are True/False with a default of 0.

    A blue checkbox on a form usually indicates a Null value. The check boxes are True/False with a default of 0 - but do they actually contain 0? When you look at the table, are any of the fields blank?

    I found the problem. I had records that didn't belong in that table. Deleted records, blue went away. Thanks, if you hadn't mentioned looking at the internals I might not have found the problem so soon.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
